Just finished reading Trapped In The Lawyers' Den With Blood Suckers, by Thelma N. McKoy again. I heard the entire story from the beginning, told to me by Mrs. McKoy. It inspired me to work with her organization Carolina Advocates for Legal Reform. It's a powerful journey into the corruption of the medical and legal institutions and how they worked in tandem to attempt to destroy Mrs. McKoy's twenty-eight year stellar career as an esteemed educator. They also attempted and almost succeeded in acquiring her home and taking her life. It's a powerful story, to say the least. It's also a warning.
An exerpt:
"And, too, bloodsucking is destroying all competition to the legal profession's fixed monopoly. In his article, HOW LAWYERS MONOPOLIZE THE LAW, Paul Wallace, a staff writer for the Long Beach Press-Telegram, part of the Knight-Ridder Newspaper chain, addressed this problem:
'Any changes in the American legal system face a unique and daunting obstacle--the lawyers. It is the lawyers who run the system as a protected monopoly, virtually an arm of the government.
...The enforce the laws that give them exclusive franchise to sell legal assistance and advice. Terms they define. It is only they who are empowered to license, regulate and police themselves. Through their domination of state and national lawmaking bodies, they hold the major power to alter their scope and influence. And they guard their profession's right to self-regulation fiercely.'"
Hmmm. Legal Mafia? Murderers Incorporated?
