No, the reason lawyers make a lot of money is that they write the laws, and
the laws are designed to protect their turf.

Well, he's at least partially right. Being a lawyer sucks, but since it
takes lawyers to comprehend our regulations, it's easy for them to game the
system in their favor.

It's really a question of which came first, not which one is right.

They would appear to be breaking the law, if you consider city code of
Iowa City "the law."

13-4-3: REFUELING AND DEFUELING AIRCRAFT:

The following general rules shall govern refueling, defueling, oil
service and sumping of aircraft and placing fuels in storage tanks or
dispensers:

A.Aircraft Not To Be Running Or In Enclosed Space: No aircraft shall be
refueled, defueled or oil serviced while aircraft engines are running,
when aircraft is being warmed by application of heat or when aircraft is
in a closed hangar or a congested or an enclosed space.

There's no mention of older building being excepted or grandfathered out
of the fire code, in this public list of the city ordinances:

http://66.113.195.234/IA/Iowa%20City/index.htm

Like I'm always telling my students, you could look it up.
(they get so tired of hearing that!)

Ah, yeah.
We also lower the curbs at intersections for wheelchairs and scooters.
Or do you blame that on lawyers too?

It doesn't take a lawyer to understand the law, it's just illegal for anyone
but a lawyer to practice law. It's protectionism at its best.
