John, There are tragedies that are just dumb and stupid. should not have happened and people should be compensated. there are dumb people who do stupid things and lawyers should encourage them. What's up with the phone book these days? more attorney's than cars dealers! I think we as a global society have made leaps forward. how many people died building a pyramid or a building in Rome. where was CE or OSHA telling the quary manager that those saplings are too small to pry and wedge those rocks. from ancient times to the pilgrims to the industrial revolution. people got hurt and died from bad accident that have by and large been eliminated today. things are better, much better. how can making the rest of the population pay through the nose crack the 100th percentile of no one ever getting hurt. I dont want anyone to get hurt but I also need to live a little.
