I totally agree. We are getting to the point where whwnever someone
dies, no matter what the cause or who was at fault there's a lawyer
out there offering to sue.

It just serves to illustrate how inane and impotent this country has
become.

I went on a date with a lawyer once, and I ranted in the same manner. (I
figured I was pretty safe because she was a former prosecutor, and not
involved in ambulance chasing.) But then she mentioned she comes from a
family of lawyers, and her brother was specifically in the business of going
after airplane manufacturers. I never heard from her again.
