Brick Walls

Stupidity should not be grounds for civil suits.

If you stand behind a moving car, you should expect it to hit you and if someone is moving it as a favor to you, suing them for rolling over your foot is an inexcusable breach of conduct.

That does not mean it is not painful, or perhaps even a tragedy. It is just not an opportunity to make money that most people would take against family, or friends. Such an action pretty much negates any sympathy I may have had for you in the beginning. It also makes me wary of being around you, because I may be the next recipient of your form of good will.

People who do these sorts of things never seem to realize that they are forging their own future. Short term gain is always first on their list. They count on the good will and decency of others to overlook their transgressions time and time again, but eventually the brick wall they force others up against becomes their own nemesis.

Someday the wolf will appear at the door and there will be no saviors to run him off. They will all be somewhere else licking their own wounds, trying to recover from the traps that were set for them.
