If you want to go deluxe, try an Apple ipod with Etynomic ER-6 'ear canal' phones and a head phone amplifier from Head Wize. The amp gives you everything you need for extremely clear sound and the 'ear canal' phones are terrific for blocking noise and deliverying amazing clarity. There are two types of plugs. The plastic plugs block most external noise and the foam plugs are a bit more comfortable, but allow a bit more external sound in. I know it's a huge controversy as to the safety of using noise-blocking headphones on a bike, but as they say in the Aerostitch catalog, "What about the people in sound proof cars with sound systems turned way up? What about them, huh?" Usually I most happy with basic ear plugs, the sound of my breathing and the engine doing it's thing. J Foust Hous

Expand your research.... The setup for the "kill the lawyers" statement is the ending portion of a comedic relief part of a scene in Henry VI, part 2. Dick and another henchman, Smith are members of the gang of Jack Cade, a pretender to the throne. The built-up is long portion where Cade make vain boasts, which are cut down by sarcastic replies from the others. For example: JACK CADE. Valiant I am. SMITH [aside]. 'A must needs; for beggary is valiant. JACK CADE. I am able to endure much. DICK [aside]. No question of that; for I have seen him whipp'd three market-days together. JACK CADE. I fear neither sword nor fire. SMITH [aside]. He need not fear the sword; for his coat is of proof. DICK [aside]. But methinks he should stand in fear of fire, being burnt i' th'hand for stealing of sheep. You can almost hear the rim-shot after everything Dick or Smith say here. Cade proceeds to go more and more over the top, and begins to describe his absurd ideal world: JACK CADE. Be brave, then; for your captain is brave, and vows reformation. There shall be in England seven half-penny loaves sold for a penny: the three-hoop'd pot shall have ten hoops; and I will make it felony to drink small beer: all the realm shall be in common; and in Cheapside shall my palfrey go to grass: and when I am king,- as king I will be,- ALL. God save your majesty! Appreciated and encouraged, he continues on in this vein: JACK CADE. I thank you, good people:- there shall be no money; all shall eat and drink on my score; and I will apparel them all in one livery, that they may agree like brothers, and worship me their lord. And here is where Dick speaks the famous line. DICK. The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers. The audience must have doubled over in laughter at this. Far from "eliminating those who might stand in the way of a contemplated revolution" or portraying lawyers as "guardians of independent thinking", it's offered as the best feature imagined of yet for utopia. It's hilarious. A very rough and simplistic modern translation would be "When I'm the King, there'll be two cars in every garage, and a chicken in every pot" "AND NO LAWYERS". It's a clearly lawyer-bashing joke. This is further supported by the dialogue just afterwards (which is actually quite funny even now, and must have been hilarious when the idiom was contemporary): DICK. The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers. JACK CADE. Nay, that I mean to do. Is not this a lamentable thing, that of the skin of an innocent lamb should be made parchment? that parchment, being scribbled o'er, should undo a man? Some say the bee stings: but I say, 'tis the bee's wax; for I did but seal once to a thing, and I was never mine own man since.- How now! who's there? Oh, and much fun at: http://www.killalllawyers.com/ - Heck, even my clients like it. I am out of this - I rather discuss group buys of $8,000.00 KLR750- motors (GRIN). Oh, ah, god bless America (if that is still legal to say). Mike Torst Las Vegas
