Lawsuits

Let's see if I understand how America works lately . . .

If a woman burns her thighs on the hot coffee she was holding in her lap while driving, she blames the restaurant.

If your teen-age son kills himself, you blame the rock 'n' roll music or musician he liked.

If you smoke three packs a day for 40 years and die of lung cancer, your family blames the tobacco company.

If your daughter gets pregnant by the football captain you blame the school for poor sex education.

If your neighbor crashes into a tree while driving home drunk, you blame the bartender.

If your cousin gets AIDS because the needle he used to shoot up with heroin was dirty, you blame the government for not providing clean ones.

If your grandchildren are brats without manners, you blame television.

If your friend is shot by a deranged madman, you blame the gun manufacturer.

If a crazed person climbs into the cockpit of an airliner and tries to kill the pilots at 35,000 feet and the passengers kill him instead, the mother of the deceased blames the airline.

If you pay a pharmaceutical company to use you as a guinea pig, then they find out the medication you were testing for them has hundreds of possible side effects, you blame the pharmaceutical company.(Fact: Since the FDA has lifted 10 year testing times for pharmaceuticals, the first people to take that medication is the pharmaceutical company's guinea pig. The company even convinces you that the medication is the best on the market, so you are willing to and do pay for it. Therefore, you are paying them to test drugs on you. The pharmaceutical companies are no longer spending money on guinea pigs, and they come out on top, not you. This is why I never take a med that has not been on the market for over ten years. I do not even allow the doctor to prescribe new medications to my children.)

I must have lived too long to understand the world as it is anymore. So if I die while my old, wrinkled butt is parked in front of this computer, I want you to blame Bill Gates, OK?
