All in one replacement for priest, rabbi, lawyer,doctor, spiritual advisor, etc, etc
The other night at an AA meeting i heard some amazing stuff. Of course privacy. anonymity is crucial so i will not comment on anything more than content.
One person in recovery told us how the bartender had become the all knowing, all advising, and perhaps close to the almighty.
Any question, problem, health concern, spiritual concern, had become the duty of the bartender.
Can we fire all the lawyers, doctors, priests, etc,etc and replace them with bartenders?

Sitting right next to the bartender is the drinking buddy! I've always been amazed how drinking buddies I barely know have advise my AH so "wisely" on our finances, relationship, and all matters I didn't realize they had first hand knowledge of. I know knowledge equals power, but does Budweiser equal mind reading?? Is THAT how John Edwards does it??!! LOL

wisdom does not need a title,such as,the title, doctor,lawyer,,etc,,etc.
Some of the most sound advise ive been given has come from plain ole folks.
Some of the most bazzar advise ive been given,came from my dr,a women of the cloth,,etc....smile

Would a wise person not advise a man seeking legal advice to consult a lawyer?
The lawyers have a saying about a lawyer thats represents her/himself "having a fool for an attorney"
I refer to technical advice ad not to the sound advice that may be had from many a wise person.
