A short vent today!!!
“Now these lawyers were learned in all the
arts and cunning of the people; and this was to enable them that they might be
skilful in their profession…. And now behold, I say unto you, that the
foundation of the destruction of this people is beginning to be laid by the
unrighteousness of your lawyers and your judges.” (Alma 10:15, 27)

| Not a new condition in the world. |
Our family has been involved in
some contact with the legal system this week and these verses are very
appropriate for the circumstances they have encountered. Right and wrong seem to have little sway in
the matters at hand – it is more about who can obfuscate the truth to the
greatest degree.
I once had a professor (for
business law) who stated:
“All lawyers lie and if they
tell you they don’t, they are lying.”
There are some men of law whom, I believe,
try to keep their work on the strait and narrow. Hurrah for them and may they have influence
on many others. But when it comes to
certain types of law, integrity and common sense take the back seat to profit
and greed.
Enough venting. Back to kindness mode.
