What motivated him to include that in the play was a recognition that lawyers are essential to the preservation of people's rights. You see, the character who said that was advising a would-be tyrant! If you were to read that quote in context, you would see that far from condemning lawyers, Shakespeare was praising them.

I'm not a lawyer, but neither do I think that all (or even a majority) of them are crooks and vultures. They serve a vital function in our society, and don't deserve half the scorn they get. Yes, there are prominent cases where a lawyer managed to push through an evil outcome, but there are many others where one stood firmly on the side of justice and right.

Yeah, but Disney could afford better lawyers.

I do believe I just heard something go " WHOOOOOSH! ".

What do you mean? There are plenty of pussies on Slashdot!
