A CALL TO ACTION!
Just Like Winning the Lottery
A recent court decision awarding 1.7 million dollars to a woman who was spanked is just a symptom of our out of control judiciary. This poor woman was in a company training (supposedly to build company moral) where she claimed that she had been so humiliated that she had suffered irreparable harm. Well gee, could she have refused to allow someone to spank her? I am convinced that many Americans have become so detached from reality that they believe these types of decisions to be free money. Of course those who are slightly wiser know that there is no such thing as free money. Any costs be it advertising, taxes or legal expenses ultimately get passed onto the consumer. The concept of self responsibility has taken a serious dive in the last sixty years or so. This is why we have so many problems in society today. The thugs of Columbine weren’t responsible. It was the guns that made them do it. Why it isn’t my fault I suffer from (fill in the blank) and couldn’t help myself. Or another version is that the devil made me do it. I believe many juries hope that they too will be able to cash out on the system and make it to easy street. From the woman who sued and was awarded millions of dollars for spilling hot coffee on her lap to the old lady who used a pair of pliers to take off the cap of a soda bottle (the wrong direction) and lost an eye when the cap blew off into her face. I am sure many of you can remember other ridiculous awards which have occurred.
The people who benefit the most from this are of course the trial lawyers. To which party to they give by far the most money too? Could it be the Democrats who consistently block any meaningful legal reform? How many of you know that their last candidate for Vice President was a trial attorney who made millions by using bogus science claims against obstetricians? This of course ends up causing higher medical bills for all of us. And who complains the loudest that medical costs are too high? Why could it be the same party? Our political system contains members who are some of the biggest hypocrites on the planet. Jesus has the least amount of patience for hypocrites. Why, because it was a way to avoid ultimate responsibility. I once had an employee who spent a great deal of time unbeknownst to me writing attorneys because of a car accident she was in. She rarely gave me an honest day’s work. But that is a foreign concept these days. That you actually have responsibilities and cannot do whatever feels good at the moment. I highly doubt that our country will survive the next fifty years. Why, because no one seems willing to forgo personal gain for the betterment of society perhaps except for a few police officers and many the younger elements in our military.
After all the world owes me a living doesn’t it? Just ask Thad Box.
