Chasing ambulances and litigating every frivolous lawsuit imaginable to make a buck are far from noble ways to make a living. There are good lawyers, thankfully. They are the ones that get into the field to make a difference and not just to line their pockets or raise their social status. We should send more American lawyers to Canada and Japan (and Iraq and the moon). Good riddance. Raj
