Kill All The Lawyers

Why would any rational human being participate in this kind of shit? Making it clear to someone who is incompetent that they need to pursue other career options is one thing, but this sort of mental piling-on is sickening. I'm a programmer, and I have seen people treated pretty rough when it's clear they padded up their resume to get a job. Bragging about your abilities while failing to deliver will also get you bounced hard. But in 20 years I have never seen anyone treated like this. The degradation of politics over my lifetime makes sense given that our politicians are being pulled from a pool of individuals that thrive in this sort of environment.
