#lawyers #congress
There are 173 lawyers in the House and 57 in the Senate. Lawyers are taught to believe that they are always right (the exact opposite of scientific thinking), as the title of Gerry Spence's book shows:
How to Argue and Win Every Time: At Home, At Work, Everywhere, Every Time
Facts and truth are irrelevant, explaining why so many of our politicians are slimy morons: less than 1% of the workforce are lawyers, yet 40% of the House and 57% of the Senate are lawyers.
