This board is a prime example of people compartmentalizing the definition of "win" and missing the bigger picture. Whats a "win" in law? Being the smartest smarty pants with every fact and cite at the ready and appearing the smartest in the room at all times? Of course it is, you risk averse good little lawyer, you. Now, I may be a peacock, and I'm exactly the full of shit salesman you might loathe, but people remember me, and that gets even a young screwhead like me a little bit of business here and there, which the lefty kid sitting in the corner afraid to sound stupid ain't getting. But of course, you'll service whatever business is brought in much better than me. And thats good. For you. But my definition of winning is different than yours. I actually get a much bigger kick out of landing a client than I do in any other endeavor. Its only because I'm bored silly behind a desk that I even write on these boards.
People give money to people based on personality as much as skill. People vote on the same criteria. That may offend you intellectually, but denying it is pretty damn stupid. Stop. Thinking. Like. Such. A. Lawyer.

I took a pass because you were being a fucktard, or douchewit, or something, and these conversations about how 50% of the population are too idealistic are dumb. Here's a news flash: When I come to this board and post, I'm doing it because I enjoy the witty repartee, the exchange of ideas, the rapier thrust and parry -- not to regurgitate someone's talking points to get a Democrat elected. If I wanted to do that, I'd work on a campaign. I understand both Bush and Kerry must occasionally dumb things down to get elected. It's too bad, but there it is. So what am I supposed to feel threatened by, exactly? Sure there are Democrats with their heads up their asses. I'm sure some of them are walking the streets of Philadelphia right now, so why don't you go find them and tell them how dumb they are -- I personally don't feel like defending them, or Michael Moore.
