Hi Matt!

So, what's wrong with just compensation?  How would you like it if 
someone came out and said that the relative value of a teacher is 
far greater than that of a lawyer to society and started campaigning 
for legislation to limit your take to ten cents on the dollar?
 
You may have some teachers that are better than others but stacked 
up along side of some of the more parisitic parts of our society 
(that's right -- I meant the law profession) they're worth their 
weight in GOLD!  ...I've noticed a bit of objection across the 
country from the grass roots level to ignorant school boards 
getting involved in one needless law suit or another.
 
...strange that you'd be in a position to possibly have your straw 
in the punch bowl someday and yet be trying to destroy the institution 
at the same time.  ...what's the technical definition of a parasite 
Matt -- as compared to a relationship of symbiosis?  ...leave it to 
a lawyer, for sure. ...go ahead, Matt.  Destroy the host.  Like the 
rest of Capitalist America you'll be destroying your own market.
Is that really smart?  ...go figure.
