I'm totally okay with discussing this concept, but arguments like this  
one rather cheapen the concept.

People are provided with an attorney in the the US (not all states,  
worldwide, remember) and because what is at issue can be the deprival  
of life, liberty, or property.

Let's not draw a legal parallel too closely, huh?
