    Fuck yes! Anyone with knowledge or education is obviously not to be trusted. They laughed at me in the 70s when I was all about the Khmer Rouge -- they had a nice idea of putting a stop to all those educated assholes who can interpret the law and do things that nobody else thought of.

    You sir, are a smart motherfucker. By keeping attorneys as far from the law as possible, we will make the world a better place. Just think: if nobody knows the law, nobody can do anything with it.
