re: lawyers

                US      Japan
engineers       70      400
lawyers         40        3
accountants     20        1

(per 10,000 people)
(from EDN, June 23,1982)

gee, does this tell you something about why Japan is doing so well?
Lawyers, accountants, etc. don't produce anything. They merely
help redistribute it, taking a big chunk for themselves. Yes, we
do need *some* of them, but do we really need this many? My
opinion is no.


                                yours for fewer lawyers,
