Default Cessna sued for skydiving accident. OT rant...

I remember as a young man coming up through the educational ladder when lawyers were respected members of the community. Lawyers were sought after for opinion and their opinion was considered by almost everyone 9I knew anyway) as delivered through a foundation of honesty and integrity.

Would that it were true for politicians.

Seems to me that this is a natural consequence of a capitalistic system;
although it might be "honorable" to forgo money in exchange for
integrity in business, it is an inherently unstable situation. Nobody
wants to be the poor schmo that gets stepped all over while everyone
else gets the goodies.

These instabilities are evident in other contexts too - how many
monopolies do you know of that voluntarily keep their prices and profits
low, for the greater good?

Jose, it's not any one thing that's wrong with the legal system.


True enough. It comes down to human nature. But the system is supposed
to be a defense against human nature. Alas, it is run by... er... humans.

It's the entire thing that's wrong.


Got a proposed fix? (No, I'm not interested in becoming benevolent
dictator
