Point of order: You need a 'second' prior to calling for a vote of 'all in
favor'. I decline to second the motion.
I've known quite a few truckers (including my oldest brother) and a one or
two were pigs (not including my oldest brother). That hardly qualifies as
"most". I've also known quite a few lawyers, two of whom were 'ethically
challenged'. Again that doesn't qualify as "most". In general both groups
had approximately the same mix of personality flaws as humans in general.
I move that we table the motion.
