We all see the commercials day in and day out. We are bombarded by these commercials on how to get rich quick because you can sue. Yes, it is quite pathetic that we as a society have become so greedy that we must have more and more, even if we really do not deserve it. Yes I do feel that we need to reform our current system because mankind just can’t be trusted.
But have you thought about the dark side to this? Do we not already have a judicial system in place – the people? Sure there are greedy trial lawyers, crooked defense attorneys, but in a trial, is there not a jury of the people?
How much are you willing to give up to further the profits of corporations who probably have none of your interests at hand? Now I am not saying all these court cases have been fair, but how many of these court cases were fair and very necessary to protect the victim? Are you also rallying to cap the amount of money an industry can sue you for? Look at some of the outrageous settlements that have been awarded to record industry alone for digital rights theft.
So before we all jump on board to protect the corporations, who is jumping on board to protect you? You fear socialism, but capitalism can be just as dangerous, if not cut throat. There needs to be a balance and I fear many of you do not understand that. Wait till you need to go after the company that wrongs you, how much do you think you should be awarded for a lifelong disability? What if that award is not nearly enough to cover the expense of your medical care for life, but just a few years?
