I know from my brother's experience (he just retired from his last job working as an attorney) that he was ready to drop out of law school after the first year. With the attitude you express above toward the law, I think you would be, too, if you ever went to law school. My impression is that in law school all that is done is splitting hairs about nonsense!
I've been a practicing lawyer for 37 years. Law school is about learning to issue spot. Being a lawyer is about finding solutions to those issues. I liked law school, but I prefer being a lawyer.
My bugaboo is people arguing about legal issues who don't know anything about the law. Everyone in society feels like they have to have an opinion, but don't give a rip if it's an informed one. Mostly I just stay out of those kinds of debates because it drives me crazy!!
