One afternoon a lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the roadside eating grass. Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate.

He asked one man, "Why are you eating grass ?"

"We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied.
"We have to eat grass."

"Well, then, you can come with me to my house and I'll feed
you," the lawyer said.

"But sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are
over there eating grass under that tree."

"Bring them along," the lawyer replied.

Turning to the second poor man he stated, "You may come with
us, also."

The other man, in a pitiful voice, then said, "But sir, I
also have a wife and six children with me!"

"Bring them all as well," the lawyer answered.

They all entered the car, which was no easy task, even for a
car as large as the limousine.

Once under way, one of the poor fellows turned to the lawyer
and said, "Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all
of us with you."

The lawyer replied, "Glad to do it. You'll really love my
place. The grass is almost a foot high."

. . . did you really think there was such a thing as a heart-warming lawyer story?

I've always thought that it would be a good State experiment to force some folk to take office, like military conscription. A State legislature with 100 seats could donate 10 or so to folk who would not run for office unless at the point of a gun. Pay them, of course. And, if they have to move to State capitol subsidize them. Then, make them attend every session and post a vote on every bill.
Some of the 10 also ought to be from those who aren't even on voting rolls.
Let's try out this citizen lawmaker stuff. Could it be worse?
