ignore the masses

unless they know from experience or are privy to the right information, then they just dont know. they might willingly give you an opinion, but it's not always worth a lot. that's just one problem with the jury system, but that's not what this post is about.

some law students are confused into thinking what they're doing is some great achievement; something special. why? because lots of people tell them it is. mostly people who havent gone to law school (of course, once you graduate and gain a title they then "dont hate you, just other lawyers"). but the only thing special about most law students is their extra chromosome. of course there are normal people who go thru law school, but they are about as scarce as tom cruise's penis in the presence of a naked woman.

law students arent any smarter than people who pursue other fields. if it ever appears so it's probably just the glow of unwarranted arrogance. in reality, law students are just as stupid as anyone else. yet tons of people commend me on going.

two quick examples.

i was sitting in corporations the other day and we were talking about limited partnerships and limited liability companies. about a half hour into class, the professor calls on some kid and asks him something based on the class discussion. the kid replies, "pass." i'm sorry, but how stupid are you? the question did not pertain to the reading you obviously didnt do. if he were even semi-conscious for the preceding half hour he could've ventured some sort of guess even, and i'm sure the professor would've guided him towards the answer he wanted. but he tried to pass. of course, this was an act of sheer stupidity, and the professor made him try to answer anyway. smart, really.

and why is it that when one class ends people for the next class block the doorway and try to rush in before the previous class exits? there are 10 minutes between classes. many classes have seating charts, so it's not like you need to race to the seat you want. and what would ever make you think it's a good idea to clog up the doorway even more? are you that anxious to go to your next class? does your seat have a posture-fitter that better aligns the stick directly up your ass? honestly. my solution to this problem is easy when i'm trying to exit class. i dont move. either let me out first or take a shoulder to your chest/shoulder/arm/face. i already have plenty of friends, i'm not looking to make any more. and as for enemies, well they say to keep your friends close and your enemies closer. so i ask you, what's closer than my shoulder to your face?
