In classical terms, we are a feminine nation. We value form and feeling over substance.
That doesn't bode well for us.
Yup.
And so the blood-sucking (B-S)heads of a firm of B-S lawyers has to hire outside B-S lawyers to defend themselves from hordes of government B-S lawyers. Guess who’s still billing?
Right! Other B-S lawyers! Leaches feeding upon leaches.
The whole law professions has degenerated into such a self-serving pool of slime, I rather relish hearing that these unproductive parasites are forced to scramble for cover.
Paying wordsmiths with no morals to extract money from those unable to protect themselves is just plain wrong. Is it a coincidence most professional politicians are also lawyers? I think not.
Bode well?
Hang, we're way past it now.

I see what you're saying; however, I'm not sure that having lawyers is [entirely] a bad thing. Consider John Adams, he was a lawyer with apparently a very acute sense of justice, which led him to become so involved with Independence. (Indeed, he was the guy who defended the British soldiers involved in the "Boston Massacre" on the grounds that they were defending themselves from an incited mob.)
In classical terms, we are a feminine nation. We value form and feeling over substance.
That is more true, I think, than most realize. (It could be even more true than you know.)
I've found myself investigating how to challenge state statutes that are [plainly] contrary to the State's Constitution and apparently the only way to go about addressing the matter via the Judicial branch is to get myself in violation of the statute in order to gain "standing"... in other words, there is no way at all to challenge it from a position of power, as you must implicitly accept the statute's authority in order to assert (on the legal forum) that it is an illegitimate authority.
In other words, the system is so "feminine" that it utterly rejects the "masculine" value/property/strength of logic.
Like you said, "form & feeling" over substance.
That doesn't bode well for us.
No, it does not. Especially if society keeps the valuation of masculine traits as worthless.
Just yesterday there was an article about Veterans which essentially tossed out the tag 'Hero' because "it encourages war."
In short, I'm reminded of TN's State Constitution and how at-odds it is with the general mode-of-thought of the general population:
§ 2. Doctrine of non-resistance
That government being instituted for the common benefit, the doctrine of non-resistance against arbitrary power and oppression is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.
