Guess what, it is the Americans that retain the lawyers, so stop trying to put blame where it doesn't belong. This is a society issue, not a lawyer issue. Why not blame the doctors for charging high prices and living in nice houses. Most of the doctors I know have houses, not townhouses.

Sure, pick on me because it is easy. Blame lawyers, doctors, etc., but don't blame society as a whole.

How about lobbying your legislature for tort reform, harder sentences on criminals, etc. Ultimately, it is the judges and the juries that let criminals off the hook. Again, just too easy for you to blame attorneys.

Me, I like to blame society as a whole. If we all did our part, things would work a lot better. If we all stopped after witnessing an accident, crime, or what have you, and volunteered to be a witness in Court, society would be a lot better off.

Now, I cannot tell you how many times I have seen witnesses lie on the stand. If we all told the truth, things would be a lot better too.

Again, it isn't attorneys causing all the problems, it is Americans causing all of them.

People want attorneys and accountants that lie for them. If everybody wanted the God's honest truth, I wouldn't be turning away clients that want me to lie for them in Court or on their tax return.

If you read ALL of my posts, you would know I do not lie for people and I do not take frivolous cases.

However, if it makes you sleep better at night by blaming attorneys for your health insurance increase, by all means continue to do so. If you keep telling yourself that, you might eventually believe it to be truth.

Don't blame the CEO's of the health insurance company who probably have huge salaries. Don't blame the CEO's of the company that are raising rates so that they can appeal to the greedy stockholders that want to see huge profits out of the company.

Next thing you know, you will be blaming attorneys for the increase in house prices and gasoline.

Then again, be careful what you wish for. Once tort reform is in place, hope that you do not end up on the wrong side of the stick. Hope that you are not the one that the doctor screws up on and that there is no monetary recovery for you.

Things in life are not black and white. Maybe I should be mad at you alligator hunters that charge so much for the hides because my wife wants an alligator purse. Don't tell me that my wife doesn't need an aligator purse, because she is as entitled to that as you are entitled to health insurance. Thankfully, she doesn't want one, but I hope you get my point.

You are as entitled to health insurance as I am entitled to a single family home. I work 10+ hours a day for what I have, and I work on the weekends too. If you want things, you need to work for them. If you want health insurance, you have to work for it.

You should run for office so that you can fix all the problems.
