Anciently, lawyers and insurancemen were the trusted champions and protectors of the disadvantaged and commonfolk.  In time, we all grew to despise lawyers even prompting the Savior to liken their kneeing through the "eye of the needle" as the prospect of their entering Heaven.  Insurancemen became hucksters scamming for residuals.  Then we trusted the town crier -- the journalists.  In time they became despicably mistrusted as groveling scavengers mucking in mud.  We trusted medical doctors as the divinity healing us needy commonfolk.  That too changed as doctors turned away the hordes unable to pay for the doctors' 4-car garage Diamond Head mansions populated with Mercedes driven by spoiled kids tuitioned at Punahou.  Perhaps by default, the last Holy Grail of trust became the accountant, from Iolani perhaps.  The humble bean counter and engaging nerd.  The nearest thing to samurai divinity on earth.  I guess that, too, is changing.
