Eleran Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 "The first thing we do, we kill all the lawyers." (Shakespeare, "Henry VI - Part II") Except that the line is spoken by Dick the Butcher, a follower of the rebel Jack Cade, who was postulating how best to overcome law and order so that Cade could somehow ascend to the throne. Hardly an insult to lawyers at all, when understood in the context of the play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironlips Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 "Hardly an insult to lawyers at all, when understood in the context of the play." Indeed, Bard Scholar. That's why I said it would make matters worse. We need their advice, after all, to bring some degree of order out of the chaos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I didn't mean to impugn your specific post - just the quote itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Consider: Some of the money paid to the copyright holders goes for legal fees. "The first thing we do, we kill all the lawyers." (Shakespeare, "Henry VI - Part II") I was stunned last week when I saw my lawyer standing on the street corner in an odd pose................his hands were actually in his own pockets!!!
