what killed the very heart
of what once made up American general aviation, was the American lawyer!

For every lawsuit against an aircraft manufacturer, there's
at least one lawyer on the side of the manufacturer and one
on the side of the person claiming the aircraft was
defective because it didn't have a perfect anti-crash doodad
installed. As far as the lawyers go, it's the only part of
the process that's reasonably balanced. The final decision
usually comes down to the jury or the judge or the laws they
applied. If we don't like the decisions we're getting, it
strikes me that going after the only balanced part doesn't
make much sense. I'm more inclined to blame stupid juries
than anyone else.

You'll never in a million years convince me of this argument. Not that what
I think has any bearing on anything :-))

This is the old " greedy people" argument. I don't buy it; never have; and
never will.
You can have an entire country full of greedy people, all wanting to sue
somebody for God knows what, and indeed, this is exactly what the lawyers
have created in American society....and nothing happens....absolutely
NOTHING....until the lawyer enters the lawsuit equation. You can have a
million people, all wanting to use the legal system for profit and personal
gain, but NOTHING happens unless there is a willing lawyer in this equation.
Lawyers advertizing for lawsuits and fishing the population for "customers",
and lawyers actively engaged in a constant quest to make money in the
lawsuit marketplace is where the blame lies; not with a greedy population.
In fact, if the absolute truth is desired, the American lawyer should be in
the greed equation to PROTECT the system from harm....not to cause that
harm!!!!!
Its the lawyers who have first created the lawsuit market by making the
lawsuit market not only available to the people, but desirable to the
people; then fished the market they created to produce maximum profit for
themselves and their "industry".
The bottom line is that the greedy people argument falls flat on its face
without the active participation of the American lawyer. No jury would in
place without a lawsuit having been filed. No lawsuit could be filed and
tried without the lawyer presenting it. No jury could award to a lawsuit and
indeed wouldn't even be in place in a courtroom without the active
participation of the American trial lawyer.
Its the lawyers raping the system that's the problem; not the greedy people
they are cleverly manipulating. Take the lawyer out of this equation and all
you have left is greedy people with no place to go to feed that greed!
