"Der Führer hat befohlen, wir werden ihm folgen!!!" ---Joseph Goebbels, Sportpalastrede, 18 February 1943, calling Germany to "Total War."
.. I really like this song **
“I would give no thought of what the world might say of me, if I could only transmit to posterity the reputation of an honest man.” - Sam Houston
I can't keep up with what's been going on Waiting for World War III while Jesus slaves
This song established Jackson Browne as a major prophet. The Soviet Union collapsed within a decade after he predicted it in 1983. And teams of U.S. lawyers DID arrive at the Kremlin to show them how to "reorganize" their system. Basically, their advice to the drunk Yeltsin was to give everything away to the Harvard lawyers who represented their fellow Jewish oligarchs, the so-called Mafiya. This song also reminds me I'm a lawyer in name only. I don't even own a three-piece suit. If any of the photos of him at the above link are recent, he is holding up way better than most of his rock contemporaries. Of course he was as much a folk singer as a rocker, for much of his career. Maybe he's smoking the same brand of pot as Willie Nelson, who hasn't aged discernibly in about 30 years. Of course, he looked like hell from previous abuse when he stopped aging. The pot can't reverse the damage already done.

Interesting story.. thanks for the link.. I always liked Jackson Browne's music.. What made you leave 'lawyering'? And if you dont mind me asking.. what are you now doing?
This is one of my favorite Jackson Browne song.. no video of him singing some animated thingy ;)
My late father pushed me to go to law school. I only practiced law for a very short time. Once he passed away, I felt liberated to leave the profession I never really wanted to pursue. I'll PM you the Web site of my company, which will give you an idea of my career. It's not as lucrative as being a lawyer would be, but there's a great deal of truth between the lines in Jackson's song (in most of his songs, in fact). Lawyering involves selling one's soul and, in many cases, I would say, actually losing the ability to love. Lawyers only care about what's "legal"; not what's moral. I think when the history is written of the decline and fall of the American empire, a critical juncture in its destruction was reached when it reached a population of one million lawyers. This may have already happened. I think this country qualifies on all three points. Therefore we are experiencing a catastrophic loss of liberty, peace and justice. History proves it's very hard to get these back once they're gone. I'm glad I've lived probably two-thirds of my life already.

Id say your observation and from the 'inside' is true for many in fact maybe most but there are some who are principled and moral but they're not rich lawyers.. I so agree.. but I look at my kids who are grown now.. what do they have to look forward to?
http://VH1.com Jackson Brown He's nearly 59 years old. Incredible. He could pass for not much more than 40. I remember the video which ran on MTV for "Somebody's Baby." It was at a time in his life when he was attempting to "go with" the actress Daryl Hannah, but the late JFK Jr. "beat his time," so to speak. I can't recall whether Hannah was actually in the video a la Christie Brinkley who starred in Billy Joel's "Uptown Girl" at the time he was dating her. Joel later married her, of course, to her eventual regret. According to wikipedia here (click on the photo), I may be wrong about the era. The Hannah involvement came during the 1990s and not the 1980s. “I would give no thought of what the world might say of me, if I could only transmit to posterity the reputation of an honest man.” - Sam Houston
his involvement with Darryl Hannah ... I remember the song from the film Fast Times At Ridgemont High http://www.netwalk.com/~truegger/ftrh/ Which was somewhat of an odd film for the times as it of course was about sex and drugs and teens.. it also delved into the consequences and emotional issues as well

I think my heart must just be slowing down
Among the human beings in their designer jeans
Am I the only one who hears the screams
And the strangled cries of lawyers in love
God sends his spaceships to America, the beautiful
They land at six o'clock and there we are, the dutiful
Eating from TV trays, tuned into to Happy Days
To the mating calls of lawyers in love
Last night I watched the news from Washington, the capitol
The Russians escaped while we weren't watching them, like Russians do
Now we've got all this room, we've even got the moon
And I hear the U.S.S.R. will be open soon
As vacation land for lawyers in love
