I was first introduced to the ROTTEN LITTLE KID -not in real life
but in the movies - when I was just about that news making brat's age.
I always knew that things would suddenly " escalate " in a " very tense
situation " and that the rotten kid's poor mother would get a good, ins
instructive kick in the leg. Her anguish provoked the laughter of the
audience. One NEVER expected the police to arrive on the scene and actually
arrest the brat.
Miami Circuit Judge , Thomas Petersen -commenting on the arrest of
ten year old Andrew Perkins - said that in the juvenile justice system
COMMON SENSE is being obliterated completely by " policies and fear of
political repercussions ".
We have become an insanely LITIGIOUS society in the past few decades
and this reality is corrupting every level of society. I have very liberal,
even radical ideas about the WAY THINGS SHOULD BE. But I know that the
courtroom is the wrong place to deal with every affront to our dignity
and sense of justice.
A boorish man brushes up to to a female secretary at a bubbler : Was
she HARASSED ? I'll see the creep in court ! she decides .
A blue collar worker spends a great deal of his time trying to arrange
an " accident " on the floor of his work place. Honesty is for jerks. He
- like ALL THE OTHERS - is just looking for the main chance.
On the bus I observe quite a few people innocently trying to get run
over - hoping that a fat law suit will guarantee them at least a few
HAPPY DAYS .
In a hospital a kind and competent nurse is being terrified by cold
nursing supervisor over that supremely important PAPER WORK. WHY ? Is
the ice cold supervisor more concerned about the patient than the kind
nurse ? No, she is just more responsible in law suits !
We truly create our very own HELL !
