They are farming us!

A few thousand years ago, mankind learned farming. It is the act of adapting 
the environment to our needs. Instead of collecting wild seeds and roots, 
mankind replaced the wild plants with monocultures that maximized the 
production of materials useful to us. Wild animals were replaced with cattle. 
Mankind changed their environment to make it support the maximum number of 
humans.

Today lawyers are doing the equivalent. They adapt their environment 
(society) to their needs. Instead of collecting wild seeds and roots (taking 
legal cases that are necessary and meaningful), they reshape the society to 
maximize the production of legal cases useful to them. Free bussines and 
individuals are replaced by the cattle of the lawyers, people who are bound 
by fear of legal actions and depend on the services of the lawyers. In this 
way the lawyers have changed their environment to make it support the maximum 
number of lawyers. They have been most successful in the USA, where the 
people have chosen to become cattle. Will we Europeans go the same way?
