Ralph spoke at my law school graduation. He said that there are a ton of attorneys but very few lawyers (or maybe it was the other way around). The few and the proud go out and use the legal system to change society and make their mark on the world. The rest just becomes cogs in the machine. He said that you have to make your mark right out of law school. You can never do it the other way around. He said if you don't do something remarkable by the time you are six years out of lawschool it ain't going to happen. I don't know about the rest of you guys but I missed my chance.

Its an odd thing for Ralph to say, considering that he pretty much canceled out his previous good works by getting Bush elected in 2000. Is he suggesting its better to do a lot of good, then do something horrifically bad, which pretty much outweighs your previous good deeds, than it is to have done nothing at all? I haven't been much more than a cog in the machine, but I also haven't upset the machine for no reason other than my own insane ego trip.
