So am I. Are you saying that stupidity is low-carb? If so, I'll probably
want to change diets. If not --- THEN WHY THE f.ck ARE YOU POSTING THIS
IN alt.support.diet.low-carb?????

I'm also not that sure about alt.sports.baseball.balt-orioles, unless
you're telling a whole city full of baseball fans that they're stupid.

Yup - bad Nettiquette. We MUST stamp it out!!!!!

As a lifelong citizen of the US, I am concerned about the
deteriorating trend that is destroying the dignity and integrity of
the American people. Among the inevitable crime, overpopulation and
every day social issues that contribute to the ongoing problems that
we face, there is a much deeper and darker influence that has been
quickly evolving into a social "plague". I have closely observed the
ethical decline of this country's government and I am sickened by the
warped values of our legal system. We now live in a country that
solicits injudicious and frivolous lawsuits, encourages people to
destroy honest businesses and their reputations, and rewards this
sadistic behavior with a monetary payoff.

The lawyers and judges in this country (with the exception of a very
few who are courageous enough to stand strong on their convictions),
have sold their concern of humanity for greed and personal gain.
The government has been reduced to nothing more than organized crime
as they over tax us and force the honest businesses to pay them
exorbitant amounts of money under the pretense of litigation. Of
coarse, on occasion, there are legitimate causes, but the epidemic of
sue happy litigators has reached a level of pure insanity.

For example, NJ State Attorney General, Peter Harvey's is suing Nissan
for producing cars with headlights that thieves find enticing to
steal.
Or how about a federal judge ordering WalMart to pay $16 million for
selling a shotgun that was used in a murder. I may be crazy, but
wouldn't the man who pulled the trigger be responsible for that?
Then there's the lawfirm who pressed and then settled a class action
against Microsoft supposedly on behalf of 14 million California
consumers, demanding legal fees of $300 million. These insane class
action lawsuits might dress well in the media, but who makes out? $300
million for the lawyers and maybe the consumer will get back a portion
of what ever he paid for a product that he consciously chose and
evaluated before making the purchase. Just another blatant case of
legal extortion. The list goes on and on, and the most twisted part of
it all is that the victim in these unfair legal attacks must pay to
defend themselves whether right, wrong, win or lose. Where is the
justice in this? Have we evolved into a breed of humans that are too
stupid to be responsible for our own choices and actions?

As the avalanche of lawsuits grows stronger and stronger the concern
for humanity becomes less and less. Do these subhumans that call
themselves lawyers and judges realize that these businesses they are
destroying are run by people with families? This is not just
paperwork, this is mothers and fathers who are proud of their hard
work and success until the vultures pick apart their livelihood with
legal brutality and slander their names with media manipulation. What
has happened to our sense of humanity?
Are we now just a nation of self serving cut-throats with no
consciences? What will become of us if this self-destructing trend
continues?
