Again I am forced to defend the American way from the whiners. Maybe if some of you ever visited foreign countries you'd have your eyes opened. Ever wonder why when you cross the street with your children people stop their cars to let you cross? It ain't that way everywhere. Ever walk along a sidewalk with the manhole covers missing or open even at night? Doesn't happen too often over here in the US. Ever go skiing down a mountain and realize they have a two foot high pipe running perpendicular to the ground across half the trail? Thankfully they'd be out of business over here in the land of lawyers. Ever say to yourself, I sure wish they would restart production of the ford pinto I had when I was young, so I could get one for my son/daughter to learn to drive with? Ever wish for the good old days when a doctor would reuse hypodermic needles to save a little cash and lower your bill? Ever drive through the rockies and wish they would remove those costly road barriers that prevent you from going over the side? Ever wish your children could go play in the abandoned decaying house down the street, if only they would remove those pesky signs and fences, or maybe down by the railroad tracks so they could put pennies in front of the expres train to see how mashed they get? Ever wonder why your insurance rates haven't gone down, even though they put a cap on how much you can sue for? Ever wonder why that nice doctor got sued just because he accidentally killed your mother when she went to get her ingrown toenail removed? Its not like he meant it? Ever wonder why you hear about the old lady with the Mc Donalds coffee who won her case 10 years after it happened but you never hear about the doctor who cut opff the wrong leg or the factory that explodes and kills a smalltown for more then ten minutes? Suck it up people, you take the good with the bad. Millions of people and businesses manage to turn a considerable profit in this country everyday in spite of the lawyers. Any time Allstate wants to leave the insurance field for greener fields they are free to do so. Asking that my doctor actually knows what he is doing when he injects me with some drug doesn't seem like too much to ask. There may be some problems but as they say, you don't cut off your nose to spite your face. Anyone ever think to ask what you have gained because of lawsuits?
