Dugald Christie

I found this excerpt interesting because it shows just how fucked up north american society is How Lawyers Get Rich :: thetyee.ca: "It's interesting to note that Japan, a free and democratic country, highly industrialized, with 127 million people, has 17,000 lawyers. B.C., with a population of 4.1 million, has according to the B.C. Law Society about 11,000!" (put another way, by BC standards, Japan is short about 323,000 lawyers, which would suggest that if lawyers are so vital to society, that Japan should then be a smoldering pile of rubble by now).
