    The judicial process in the USA is starting to resemble a freak show. Bars and restaurants get sued for people who cant behave properly within the establishments. You can sue a person for looking at you funny, you can sue someone for putting cream in your coffee. You can sue a town for not letting you put on a Heterosexual Day Parade [I'll save that whole thing for another column].

    It's like everyone's out to stick it to everybody. Dog eat dog. People don't care if they screw the system because they feel like the system screws them without a condom on a daily basis. The system feels like everyones out to screw it so we wind up with many little things blown out of proportion for the sake of the dog and pony show. You wanna talk about a fisting? The Clinton library cost 165 million dollars to build. $165,000,000.00! You could educate more kids than that place ever will with that dough, but instead we needed to build a library in a State that aint too well known as a vacation hot spot for families.

    They expect about 300,000 people a year to visit [in reality that means about 50,000 people because as we all know government exaggerates what it needs to for certain things and understates where it needs to so it can get people to believe a certain way] at 7 bucks a head. You do the math. I don't see the library ever turning a profit but I can see it costing another 5 million a year to maintain. Who can the U.S. citizen sue for that mismanagement? No one. Real businesses can't create businesses designed to lose money but the Government can. On the other hand lawyers seem to justify any lawsuit they take on if it has at least six figures involved [for them].

    Maybe we can find a sleaze to investigate if in fact the $165,000,000.00 raised to build the Clinton library was actually from "private donors". Even if it was, does anyone believe that the maintenance and yearly budget will not be funded on the backs of US Citizens? Are you fucking kidding me? How about the $15,000,000,000.00 [that's 15 BILLION] wasted on this big dig site in Teddy Kennedy's state? These are the kinds of cases that should be brought into the system not some weenie who spilled hot coffee on his peeshalini.

    I'd love to sue my first girlfriend, she stole my heart! LOL. Nice analogy. Twisted and bizarre but interesting to say the least.

    I'm fast becoming a fan of Mr. Amato. His wit and charm mixed with brilliant commentary intertwined with anger and black humor on a variety of topics is quite palatable. This article poses some interesting points about the United States' legal system. I especially like the idea of suings one's girlfriend.
