Okay, obviously it is really important to you that I agree with you and I feel bad that you are more worked up about my assessment of the situation than you are about the actual situation.

No I really want to understand the mindset of a person that would allow this kind of thing to continue. This kneejerk anti litigation mindset intrigues me. When your kids life has been possibly destroyed by a teachers action and a school's improper supervision and or inaction I consider that real damage. It won't change until they get hit in the pocketbook.

But it doesn't hit THEM in the pocket book. It's tax-payer money. It's not their salaries.

And I had a very close associate who was molested while he was a teenager. He sued. He got money. Did it help him? Nope. Know what I think would have helped him? Seeing that priest go to JAIL.

... But yeah, that money seemed to make his parents feel better. I guess that's what matters, right?
