You see a lot of country when you drive from the center of the nation to the East Coast: Mid Missouri to Charleston, South Carolina.
Small towns, cities, mountains and lordy-lordy lots of bridges! Lots of traffic as people are going from home to work and from work to home and back out again for play.
We were visiting my youngest son and introducing ourselves to our newest granddaughter. We had no time on the sand but lots of granddaughter time on our laps. My fifth son and his wife just brought into the world their fifth daughter. God does have a sense of humor and way of evening out the gender population.
As we were traveling back home I was observing the landscape. There was one billboard after another advertising the services of “injury lawyers.” It was hard not to notice or remember their phone numbers as they were (not kidding) 333.3333 or 999.9999 or 777.7777 – you get the idea! I thought to myself, “I miss Burma Shave.” Perhaps I’m telling my age, but do you remember the Burma Shave messages as the billboards were distanced with a continuing message; they were fun to read!
The One Who / Drives When / He’s Drinking / Depends On You / To Do His Thinking / Burma Shave
Every Shaver / Now Can Snore / Six More Minutes / Than Before / By Using / Burma Shave
Your Shaving Brush / Has Had Its Day / So Why Not / Shave The Modern Way / With / Burma Shave
He Tried To Cross / As Fast Train Neared / Death Didn’t Draft Him / He Volunteered / Burma Shave
Their signs were entertaining and somewhat “lesson teaching.” The billboards for lawyers… Not so much! I know that I’m sounding like an old person but there used to be a coined name for such lawyers, and I believe they were called “ambulance chasers.” They were out to make a buck on the sufferings of others by taking from insurance companies, or others. I’m not saying that there are not those who should be held responsible for injury, but the majority of Americans are all paying the price. Even in today’s political arena we read daily how one is suing the other for this or for that. It’s a wonder they ever solve this nation’s problems…WAIT… They Don’t!
A concern of mine is that the United States is not so much living by the rule of law, but instead by lawyers and lawsuits going around the laws or bending them ever so slightly.
Recently O.J. Simpson passed away after a battle with cancer. I believe the man was guilty of a double murder and I believe his lawyers knew he was. Yet Alan Dershowitz stated the role of the defense attorney is to get his client “off.” So their goal, not unlike an ambulance chaser, is to set a murderer back into society, while collecting a very nice monetary return for themselves. Mr. Dershowitz is a very intelligent man but that doesn’t make him wise. The O.J. Simpson trial had many Americans captivated. O.J. was a very wealthy man and the “dream team” of lawyers made a name for themselves and put lots of O.J.’s money in their bank accounts; but they set a murderer free. O.J. was acquitted but that didn’t stop other lawyers who then helped the families of the murder victims file a civil lawsuit for damages; and they too won.
Something is very wrong with that “legal” picture of so-called justice!
The justice system in America is messed up! It no longer serves the citizens or victims, but instead serves the criminals and the lawyers. Lawyers loving and serving other lawyers. One of my faithful listeners used to say, “Those who make the laws, practice the law.”
I’m not sure what the answer to this legal but injustice cycle in America is… but it isn’t suing every Tom-Dick and Harry or Margaret-Martha and Mary to gain wealth for the lawyers. Justice isn’t ignoring the Eighth Amendment and ruining the lives and livelihoods of Americans. Justice is to make sure those who break the laws (murder) are punished and those who are true victims have some compensation or closure for a horrific life changing catastrophe.
We have numerous citizens being held unjustly from January 6, 2021. They have been denied due process and have been held in prison for years now, without bail. The crime most face is “trespassing.”
O.J.’s lawyers made a small fortune and put a murderer back on the streets. Where are the lawyers who say they believe in the law and justice? Shouldn’t they be defending the alleged “trespassers” of January 6, 2021?
“Justice is justly represented blind, because she sees no difference in the parties concerned. She has but one scale and weight, for rich and poor, great and small.” William Penn
“Our law says well, to delay justice is injustice.” William Penn
So, the rich lawyers who made a name for themselves are not blind and lady justice is no longer sought for justice for the poor.
Congress is full of “Lawyers” whose law degrees simply teach them how to go around the law, not bring the laws and Liberty together Constitutionally.
Just Because You Did It / Doesn’t Mean You’re Guilty / Saving The Criminal / Shaving The Law
A Good Lawyer / Knows The Law / A Clever One / Takes The Judge / To Lunch / Saving the Criminal / Shaving The Law
I’m A Lawyer / Not A Therapist / But My Hourly Rate / Is Just As High / Saving The Criminal / Shaving The Law
If there is no justice for one, then there is no justice at all!
It’s time Americans all changed the way we think about lawsuits. These indictments against former President Donald J. Trump are evidence that America’s justice system is completely broken.
Let’s start saving the rule of law (the Constitution) and “shaving” the criminals.
