    The ones on TV News aren't actually forecasting. They're just regurgitating forecasts from the Internet.

    Politicians, closely followed by lawyers. It's no surprise that a huge percentage of politicians are/were also lawyers.

    Having been a legal secretary since 1963, I can honestly say that not all lawyers are sharks.  I have worked for some very good lawyers who are fair and honest, but, as with any other profession, there are some bad apples in the barrel.

    Didn't say lawyers were all a$$holes, just that they are perceived as such and thus mistrusted by the public as a whole.

    I forgot that one, I now move it to first position along with car repair stations and their employees, in my opinion.

    A family member told me about one of the chants they used while marching. Skinhead,skinhead, don't be blue. My recruiter screwed me too.

    That's really funny but it (recruitment) is really no laughing matter.  A former coworker of mine who served in the Korean War commented on some of the television commercials that promise to pay for the recruit's education.  He stated that, "Yes, the army will pay for your education... AFTER they put you on the front line and you survive!"

    Somewhere over past days I thought I saw a somewhat similar question that included prostitution. I don't exactly remember, though.
    I'm off- topic here,  but prostitution seems to me, when it is between two completely consenting adults, a very trustworthy service. I don't really get why it's illegal. No one is getting harmed and the two people involved are the only two involved.

    And as far as my other answer up there -  the other question to which I referred, about prostitution and trustworthy, untrustworthy - - I thought it was a question you had asked. But I only saw the question once.
