At the time RJR Nabisco at 26 billion was the largest
If you were one of the wall street lawyers that work on that buyout you received a kings ransom for a few weeks or months work. So we all looked at that fact and said “ I want to be a wall-street attorney.” But, you can’t just be a wall-street attorney, you have to go to the right school, an Ivy League school.

Only so many get into a good Ivy League law school. For those who don’t the doors are closed on a Wall-Street position. So what do we do? We do what every is required to see that we get into those schools. What does that mean, we cheat. We start cheating as early as pre-school. We cheat our way through grade school, high school, college and law school. After all that our ethics are crap, so it is just a small jump to cheat in our professional life. So we end up cheating on the books, the stocks, the products. Only a fool would trust us or our product. The market place becomes little more than a sham. Those innocents that enter are shorn and bleatingly reduced to penury.

The world becomes little more than a scam. The social fabric is ripped. All the while the opinion makers are railing against the moral decay brought on by drugs, promiscuity, and lack of patriotism. We are, as a nation, screwed.

1. Really never wanted to be a lawyer, but it I had....
...I'd at least be honest about my intentions and reasons for being in the law. An ambulance chaser, in other words.
