It is a damn shame your kids are not getting enough exercise this winter, why don't you take them sledding?
I was injured sledding, and it was do to something the city had done at the municipal ski area and sledding hill. The family didn't sue, I just had to start breathing again and wipe the blood off my face. Things were a lot better back then. -

Have personal injury and trial lawyers abused the legal process to the point that they have effectively eliminated any remaining vestige of personal responsibility left in our society? SRSLY WTF?!?!

The only sledding hill where I grew up in MI was at the water works. For liability reasons, the county erected a chain-link fence to keep us kids out. Yep, first injury of the sledding season was a kid climbing the fence.

THE PROBLEM IS NOT TRIAL LAWYERS ABUSING THE SYSTEM;IT'S THE SYSTEM. AS LONG AS RESPONSIBILITY CAN BE ASSIGNED TO THE LAWYERS, NOTHING WILL BE DONE TO FIX THE SYSTEM. THERE WAS A TIME WHEN JUDGES HAD THE CAHONES TO DISMISS THESE CASES, BUT WHETHER IT WAS AS A RESULT OF OTHER JUDGES REVERSING THEM ON APPEAL OR SOME OTHER FORM OF EMASCULATION, THEY SEEM TO HAVE LOST THAT ABILITY. WHERE THE PROBLEM REALLY LIES, AND WHERE NO ONE EVER SEEMS TO ASSIGN RESPOSIBILITY, IS THE VARIOUS LEGISLATURES WHICH ARE SO BEHOLDEN TO THE TRIAL LAWYERS. EVERYONE GETS EXERCISED OVER CASES SUCH AS THESE, BUT THEN TURN AROUND AND REELECT THE SAME CORRUPT LEGISLATORS. THAT IS NO WAY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

The whole problem with the so called justice system is it is designed for of and by lawyers. Really, $200.00 and up to file some papers?! $150,000.00 for a broken tooth? How can one seriously justify that? Except for rampant greed?
Don't forget that judges (and often politicians)are also lawyers, and the system is one big good ol' boy's club.
Also, some chickens#!t anonymous bozo seems to know nothing about internet etiquette. -

Hey DougM, did you happen to grow up in GPF? There was a sledding hill at 8 Mile and Lakeshore at the waterworks building.

We got tired of our smooth sledding hill in Cheyenne, WY so us kids shoveled enough snow to build some curves into it. As the first one down the hill I discovered that steering an inner tube around curves is hard. I went flying up and over the berm and through the branches of a pine tree. I got to the bottom of the hill with scratches bruises and a half inch diameter piece of tree branch stuck completely through the side of my coat.
Everyone thought that was so cool, that the rest of the kids hit that same curve so that they could jump the berm and and fly through the tree also.
Best day of sledding ever... -

I have a pair of solutions that do not require use of a capslock key:
Competing bar associations.
Not allowing bar association members to serve as a judge ( conflict of interest ). -

Like everything else we did in northeastern Ohio, sledding was considered a full-contact sport, didn't matter with each other or a tree or what. We were so bundled up, I don't recall anyone getting more than bruised up. Some epic collisions.

Look at the faces: kinda dim-witted looking, even for lawyers.
I believe the two on the right are the issue of the two on the left. -
