To pay someone 20,000 to do something I could do on facebook and on the internet is simple the biggest scam in America.

Same can be said for every service profession.

I can cook a pretty good steak for about 10 bucks, but I'll go to a restaurant and pay for the privilege of letting someone else do it for me -- better.

I can cut the grass -- I even have a lawnmower -- but paying the landscape company to do it for me ensures I don't have to get off the couch on Saturday if I don't want to -- and they do a better job. I never could master the edger.

I could represent myself in court -- I took plenty of prelaw courses and I'm sure I could muddle my way through -- but I'd rather trust an attorney to do it because it's his livelihood.

You know, one time, I replaced my water pump because I was broke. Took about six hours and I scarred up my knuckles pretty good. A week later, the damn thing started to leak. I took it to a mechanic. He knocked it out in 45 minutes and it didn't leak.

But yeah, Facebook and the internet. Go for it.
