There is only one country on earth that has more lawyers than engineers. You guessed it, the U.S. has 6 times more laywers than engineers. The future is also grim, there are more law students in school than there are licensed laywers. We also have the highest incarceration rate of any developed country. Maybe we should get rid of the justice system and go back to the kinsman avenger method. That kept the crime rate much lower in the old testament days. It seems the real criminals are protected by the current system, but some one with an egg gets the full weight of the law. Bernie Madoff stole 5 times more money himself than the total of all bank robberies since 1776.
