re: #437 KGxvi

Clinton, Van Hollen, Klobuchar… all of them were attorneys. My experiences that I referenced were also mostly within the context of practicing law. Perhaps that’s the common thread. Lawyers tend to work on different standards are norms (which can often times be damn near toxic), so that might have something to do with it.

I’m reminded of my Chinese history professor. I liked the professor and I think he liked me but he was a strict grader. I passed his class but not with the usual A’s I got in history. Someone could see that and think it was because he was a hard ass but I think I had the maturity to realize he just had high expectations. The attorney I worked for was tough on me but never cruel if I made a mistake but gracious if I went above and beyond. Some people just don’t like that firm but fair approach.
