Another fan of Shakespeare. The intended meaning of that line is not understood by most, though it is very likely that when Shakespeare wrote those lines he knew the double entendre would delight the crowd.mkelley wrote:Well, from an artist in the past to us: "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers"
(Which, by the way, I totally agree with. Why someone hasn't made a TV drama series showing how terrible they are, instead of raising them to the level of doctors and police work, I'll never understand. Oh, you'll see a bad one or two here and there, usually the eneimy of our "hero" lawyer, but where is the truly honest piece showing how awful most of them are? Oh, yeah, it would probably get sued :>).
The play was King Henry VI, and the heroes were plotting the destruction and conquering of their rivals in another country (France). The discussion was not merely about what weapons they would use and how they would charge into battle with their swords. They were plotting the complete destruction and takeover of the country. The intention of "First ... we kill all the lawyers" was as a tactic to unravel the fabric and structure of the society of their enemy. By depriving their opponents of the rule of law, they would not be able to resist in a war, produce arms, feed their soldiers and their people. Destroying the legal system would create of vacuum of order and control. Causing chaos in the enemy greatly aides the effort to conquer the enemy more quickly and easily, and then to establishing a new order and control. Remember the TV show "Get Smart"? They enemy was called CHAOS (or was it KAOS). This tactic was written about for thousands of years going back to Sun Tsu.
The problem in the U.S. is that a small circle of lawyers, reaching into the government's regulatory and prosecutorial functions, has been eroding justice for profit for many decades. Their intent is most likely merely to get rich, but our enemys have been loudly cheering our financial crisis.
We ignore the criminal infiltration of our legal system at our nations peril.
Nope, you've been misled (by lawyers, as usual :>).
Here's the full explanation:

But it's no coincidence that lawyers try to miscast this to their advantage (it's their typical tactic for *everything*).
Now, where is my gun...? <bg>

Hey thanks Mike, that was a good read. I always enjoy an unexpected education. I imagine that the dialect of Shakespeare provides people with an edge in thier misinterpretations.
Just let me know, I'll join in the fun (though I don't have a gun, but I'll find something lethal). Let's see....if we didn't have lawyers perhaps there'd be more innocent in jail and guilty on the street, but there definitely wouldn't be as many people with money getting away with stuff.
The really scary bit is that all judges are really just lawyers. So where is supposed 'justice' to be found?
p.s. I know this is all off topic, but I figure as long as the original poster started it, it's still thier thread.
