Oh, sure. Shoot the messenger.
Hi, Tom--
If people stopped suing each other over dumb stuff, a lot of lawyers would be out of a job.
Some of our criminal statutes are stupid, too, thus creating the need for DAs and defense attorneys, including PDs.
We create the market. Let's kill the market, and let some of the lawyers find other work. :)
Regards--
