So, keep up the good word and fight (and not just in PR!) Besides, some PR folks may not be bad so much as dumb. Enron's wife going on television a few years back and sobbing about their hardship, for example. Ay-yahhh!

You <i>think</i> your J.D. and your internships make you an "attorney," but there is evidence to the contrary. 1) You are nice. 2) You write in a clear and concise manner. 3) Your clear and concise prose is meant to illuminate, not obfuscate. 4) People don't know enough about what copywriters do to distrust them. Sorta like not hating the nuclear engineers on the Manhattan project. Nice shot, Andrea. You think your J.D. and your internships make you an “attorney,” but there is evidence to the contrary.
