Lawsuit Madness Is Back!

It is now official. With the initiation of two new legal actions, one against Kraft/Nabisco and the other against an Illinois high school, May 2003 marks the reemergence of the frivolous lawsuit.

September 11 seemed to put a clamp on this phenomenon. After the selfless heroism of New York Firefighters and the passengers of Flight 93, who wanted to be seen in court claiming no one warned them that sniffing rubber cement could lead to psychosis?

My favorite lines from this astute analysis: "More and more manufacturers add asinine warning labels -- "Do Not Place This Ladder On A Pile of Leaves"; "Do Not Tip Over the Vending Machine" -- to shield themselves from legal liability. One wonders what sort of warning labels the next round of frivolous lawsuits will produce. Matchbooks will come with large type advising "Do Not Light Match After Spilling Gasoline on Hands." "Do Not Thrust Pointed End Into Eye Socket," will be stamped on every knife handle. Eventually, toilet paper will have to come with instructions."

Eventually, toilet paper will have to come with instructions.

You mean I DON'T have to use each sheet 3 times before disposing of it?
