"they are maggots on society"

Maggots eat dead flesh. You should have called lawyers leeches, they survive on live flesh. More appropriate analogy.

As for lawyers creating their own game..that is partly true. But the reasons for America being a litigious and overly regulated society can not all be blamed on one profession. Lawyers are just the most visible and easy target to hang problems on that are more deeply rooted in a number of elements in our society/culture, not just "the lawyers". In my opinion anyway.
