Lévi-Strauss is gone

[JEELEN]

Well, if I'd read something by Mr Lévi-Strauss I would. Anyway, I'm done with this bickering, good luck.

I was really just looking for an excuse to use "singularity of ******ry" in a post.

Yes, because... damn, KH already nailed it. Perhaps you can explain one thing all his "thinking" about... "structure" did to actually improve the standard of living of a single human being other than himself.

There's something seriously wrong with a lawyer throwing these stones.

A) What KH said. Since when does freeing an innocent person not improve his/her standard of living, jailing a guilty person not improve the standard of living of those who would otherwise be victimized, taking a tortfeasor to the cleaners not improve the standard of living of the victim, drafting a will not improve the standard of living of devisees, etc. etc. etc.?

B) That, and I also never expressed any intention to be a "lawyer" to begin with...

C) Even if I were a lawyer, I'm not the one with some la-de-da tribute thread with someone pontificating about how people should be discussing my grand contributions to society instead of joking about my silly furriner name. Levi-Strauss is. Were I a lawyer otherwise in his shoes, I'd expect due derision.

Do you think he gives a rat's ass? I don't think he does.

[Darius871]

If you're talking about Levi-Strauss, no. That was the joke.

[SlowwHand]

Not you. I know that you know.

I got the impression you were one of those scum of the Earth AKA lawyers. I'm not sure where from, although point A lends weight to the impression.

At any rate, we all know that the best kind of airplane crash is one where the plane is full of lawyers. This point cannot be contested by anyone who should be taken seriously.
