Greedy Trial Lawyer
Greedy Trial Lawyers Crusade Against Fun
Category: In Your Face
Kudos to the Center for Individual Freedom for capturing the essence of being a Greedy Trial Lawyer. CFIF says we are bent on making a quick buck from even the most trivial lawsuit. I do have a slight criticism, however. I believe it should be quick bucks.
I also like the idea of being part of a crusade. It conjures up an image of riding a magnificent steed, wearing shining armor and carrying a colorful banner proclaiming Down With Fun.
Crusade Against Fun Continues
Fun? Who wants fun? Fun is so last year.For starters, we can thank the greedy trial lawyers bent on making a quick buck from even the most trivial lawsuit. They've created a climate where insurance companies, school lawyers and administrators have to go to ridiculous lengths to limit possible liability. (Ever wonder why every aspirin and vitamin has to be turned over to the school nurse. Otherwise, it would only be a matter of time before some kid OD'd on vitamins.) [I have never wondered why - it is part of our Crusade Against Fun.]
The extreme measures that schools employ to protect themselves from liability mean preventing kids from doing things they might enjoy, especially if those things involve the slightest risk.
The Mission of CFIF:
Founded in 1998, the Center for Individual Freedom is a non-partisan, non-profit organization with the mission to protect and defend individual freedoms and individual rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.The Center seeks to focus public, legislative and judicial attention on the rule of law as embodied in the federal and state constitutions. Those fundamental documents both express and safeguard society's commitment to individual freedom, not only through specific protections such as the Bill of Rights, but also through structural protections that constrain and disperse governmental authority.
In addition, the Center seeks to foster intellectual discourse by bringing together independent thinkers to examine broad-ranging issues of individual freedom in our global society. While the Center is decidedly for individual freedom, scholars and legal authorities who share that same basic philosophy differ as to the application of those principles in the complex world in which we live. The Center strives for balanced debate that encourages conflict resolution where there is tension between the rights of individuals and the requirements of government, as well as between individuals.
Are we having fun yet?
