And to add to the mess...... nobody takes responsibility for their actions anymore.

I learned to take responsibility for my choices as a kid...through play..... and that is suppose to carry through to adult hood.
ie. When I was young (6) and wanted to participate in a snowball fight with the older kids my Mothers' response was go ahead just don't come back crying to me when you get hit hard.
When I broke a window with a baseball, I paid for it.
When I got a black eye playing catcher (hardball) my mother simply gave me an ice pack and said, next time borrow a catcher's mask.

It seems that over the last 15 - ? years our society has been setting up our kids to become mambee pambee sheeple. And now most young people don't know how to stand-up for anything except entitlements and excuses.
Lawyers are partially responsible for some of the cautious play but that is definitely only part of the story.
We are ripe for a takeover/collapse.

If there is a "takeover / collapse" where does that leave us? I do not think any of us consider ourselves "sheeple" , but we are certainly in the minority. Can we just continue to educate our children and grandchildren in the right way and hope it is enough?

I am frustrated , because I have mostly always been in control of my situation and been able to take care of my family and plan for the future, but I am feeling increasingly powerless to protect them from the future that is coming.

This condition is their normal.

Very sad but very true.

blaminglawyers, u goota blammethese fokkingjudges to.they hav ethe power to throw any case out of court and yet they let these frivilous lawsuits to go on. If a lawyer credentials wa son the line every time he brought a stupid ass case to courst, there wouldbe less stupid ass cases brought.

Our judicial system sucks, and in many ways it is still : Money talks people walk..

I rode all the way from Missouri to Washington state on the rear window shelf of a 57 Chevy. No air bags, no belts, just me and a jacket for a pillow.

I used to love to lay back there on long trips. It was like an adventure.

And since we're all reminiscing about growing up in the fifties ... has anyone read "The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid" by Bill Bryson. It's a great read about growing up in the fifties in Des Moines, Iowa.

Your right about the judges.....but then again the judges that I'm aware of all started out as regular lawyer. But your point is well taken.
