    And also such annoyances as the Food and Drug Administration, the Federal Aviation Administration and the Department of Education.

    Yes, by all means, vote libertarian if you want contaminated food, unsafe planes and even more poorly educated kids.

    Lawyers are just like hackers, they don't make the stupid piece of shit rules, they just find the loop holes, sometimes for bad reasons, ok so they are black-hat but still hackers. If I had law skilez I would use them for money too, granted I would start out as the young graduate keen to make a difference and bring some good to the world, but after a couple of years I'd be suing 12 year old girls and their grand-parents and still sleeping good at night..
