- Whoa! Take it easy there, Aimee. When you're done with school, you can
- become a lawyer, marry a politician, get him elected and then change the
- world based on misinformation.
-
- You can go into the wonderful world of family law, impart your own views
- and interpretations on the concept of 'fair and equal,' and affect many,
- many people.
-
- You could specialize in product liability and leave your mark by making it
- law to tell people not to use their false teeth as hemmorrhoid removers,
- not to operate large aircraft in school classrooms, or not to use plutonium
- as an aphrodesiac.
-
- Sure, it all looks bleak now, but hang on. It's going to get better. It's
- the Law.
