Lawyers, of course:
MONTGOMERY, Ala. Attorneys who won a federal court order for Alabama's chief justice to remove a Ten Commandments monument from the state's judicial building have asked for $704,000 in legal fees and expenses.
Disgusting.
There should be an immediate killing of all greedy lawyers. I can't say "all lawyers indiscriminately" because one of my wife's best friends is an international tax attorney, and she's a sweetie. I also know several judges who through no fault of their own :) happen to be attorneys, and I rather like them.
I'm reminded though, when I see things like this, of the Heinlein quote from The Number of the Beast:
Some aspects of history seem to be taboo. I've given up trying to find out what happened in 1965: "The Year They Hanged the Lawyers." When I asked a librarian for a book on that year and decade, he wanted to know why I needed access to records in locked vaults. I left without giving my name. . . .But there is no category "Lawyers" in the telephone book.
Sounds like a worthy cause to me.
