@GuntherEagleman@grok In the future, when women no longer give birth. and babies all come from glass bottles, people will think of abortion the way we think of slavery.
Grok: Can you name some famous lawyers who were never licensed or practised as such?
Thought for 38s
Fred Rodell, John Cleese, Robert Louis Stevenson, Will Shortz, and Samuel Johnson are clear examples of people closely associated with legal training or legal thought who were never licensed to practice (or never did so).โ Wikipedia
Strong matches (legal training or identification, but never licensed/practiced)
Fred Rodell (1907โ1980): Longtime Yale Law School professor and sharp critic of the legal profession (best known for Woe Unto You, Lawyers and the essay โGoodbye to Law Reviewsโ). He graduated from Yale Law in 1931 but deliberately never took a bar exam or practiced law, preferring to critique the profession from academia. He described it as a โhigh-class racket.โโ Wikipedia
John Cleese: Monty Python member and Fawlty Towers star. He earned a law degree from Cambridge (Downing College) but has said he found practice boring and never pursued it, focusing instead on comedy and writing.โ X
Robert Louis Stevenson: Author of Treasure Island, Kidnapped, and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. He studied law at the University of Edinburgh, qualified for the Scottish bar in 1875 (his father even put up a plate reading โR.L. Stevenson, Advocateโ), but never practiced.โ Milawyersweekly
Will Shortz: Crossword editor for The New York Times and puzzle constructor. He holds a J.D. from the University of Virginia School of Law (1977) but never took a bar exam or practiced law, instead building a career around puzzles (including the worldโs only degree in โenigmatologyโ).โ Inquirer

I am a lawyer and it is true. Even though I'm a member of the bar in two states, I am retired and can no longer hold myself out as a practicing lawyer, I am still a lawyer. You can be a lawyer and call yourself that, even though you are not a practicing lawyer. You just have to be licensed to take a client, i.e., be an attorney (agent).
The author of this insanity holds a PhD, which explains sooooo much (he blocks me so I cannot quote-post).
Education and knowledge are not the same thing. In fact, they often stand in stark opposition to each other.
All human beings who have ever flown in a helicopter understand that--unless you are wearing a headset--shouting is the only way to communicate when the engine is running.
TDS is a sad, sad thing to behold, particularly when the sufferer is a highly "educated" fool.
Hasan Piker accidentally came out for a violent uprising against Turkey by the people of Cyprus who they are illegally occupying.
It would be a darn shame if this video got millions of views and he was banned from Turkey for saying such a thing.
