Keely,

Sorry, I thought you could understand nine year olds. :P

Your Friend,

I'm sorry, but given that your question was only partially coherent, I'm afraid I'm not able to engage with you.  On this or much of anything else, sadly.

Keely,

Your NSA gig has run on for like five years now, longer than you were in office, at least. When you going to write new material for that?

What do you think about lawyers cutting funding for schools, Keely? 

Your Friend,

Donovan Arnold

Most people over the age of, ohhhhh, about nine would recognize that this isn't funny and that the whole anti-lawyer joke thing has run on to an embarrassing degree.  Sadly, the guy who can stop it is the only one who apparently feels no embarrassment whatsoever.

Yeah!  Especially those scummy lawyers Jefferson, Adams, Hamilton, and Lincoln!

Sue,

And yet the problem with your analogy is that points to the reality that even a traitor of Benedict's caliber has done more for the country than the best of men with a law degree.

Well Donovan, you're at  it again with your generalizations tailor made to fit your rhetoric,  e.g.. colonels and colons.   Let's see now:  Benedict Arnold, the soldier, as opposed to Morris Dees, the trial lawyer.  To quote Donovan, "One is full of honor and the other?"

The problem with Hansen's analogy is that what a colonel has to say has some relevance and truth to it in the real world, where as the words of a trial lawyer usually don't. 

I hope Hansen will refrain from insulting men and women in uniform by reducing their relevancy to that of a trial lawyer. They deserve better than this. Soldiers put their lives on the line, they fight for something real..... They serve their country and others with honor. The polar opposite of most lawyers.

There is as much difference between a colonel and trial lawyer as there is between a colonel and a colon. One is full of honor the other full is full of, well, I will let you fill in the blank. 

Your Friend,

Donovan Arnold

“Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be
guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? I have more
responsibility here than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago,
and you curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of
not knowing what I know. That Santiago’s death, while tragic, probably
saved lives. And that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible
to you, saves lives. I know deep down in places you don't talk about at
parties, you don’t want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use
words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a
life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have
neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises
and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then question
the manner in which I provide it. I prefer you said thank you, and went on
your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand to post.
Either way, I don’t give a damn what you think you are entitled to!”

- Jack Nicholson, as Colonel Jessup in "A Few Good Men"

-----------------------------------------------------------------

It wouldn't be that big of an imaginary stretch to say that these comments
made by "Colonel Jessup" could, with just a few minor modifications, apply
to the duties and commitment of those in the legal profession.

I mean . . . I could just see Sunil "Colonel Jessup" Ramalingam addressing
the likes of Donovan Arnold and Roger Falen with these comments.
