        @WSJ If Shakespeare lived today he would have written: The first thing we do, let's kill all the economists. In context.

        @WSJ You could say the same thing for Imams, Rabbis, and Priests, interpreting Holy Books for the people; have to read the words yourself.

        @WSJ Please. Shakes wasn't condemning or endorsing lawyers. He wrote it because it was funny. Because his audience would laugh at it.

        @WSJ Shakespeare would surely find that amusingly ironic, given that lawyers are renowned (and reviled) for taking things out of context.

        @WSJ William didn't write that. Give credit to Mary Sidney Herbert countess of Pembroke. Bill could hardly write his name and owned no books
