Sometimes ridiculous stories look a lot less ridiculous when all the
facts are known.

Next time you're in a hardware store, take a look at all the warning labels
on a wooded step ladder.  There must be 20 of them.

I forget what it's called, but you know the little bitty platform that pulls
out for you to put your paint can on?  Some guy sued the ladder company and
won when he stepped out on that platform, put his full weight on it, fell
and broke something.

I like that saying "You can't legislate stupidity".  You can't measure it
either but I sure know it when I see it.

There is not enough common sense in our legal systems nor in our everyday
lives.  People need to take more responsibility for their own actions.

Stepping off of soap box now...
