A piece of logic, for your consideration.

I'm starting from the amusing philosophy of Bishop Berkeley (after whom, incidentally, UC Berkeley and the accompanying Bay Area city were named), namely that to be is to be perceived. For X to exist, it must be perceived by something. A thing can perceive itself, but only while consciously doing so--thus, while sleeping, one cannot perceive one's self. Thus, given that the conscious organisms of creation cannot observe all things at all times, there must be some Prime Watcher (read: God) whose duty it is to observe all things and generally keep creation running at all times. Thus, God must be, and must never sleep (for if he/she/it slept, then God would cease to be for lack of being perceived), and therefore must be--having existed for so damn long--the most sleep-deprived entity in creation. Thus, to be sleep deprived is to be like God. Therefore, law students, as a whole, being nearly terminally sleep deprived as a general rule (there are execptions--Bergy--to this rule), must be really quite close to God.

Therefore, law students are Godly.
