Whatever happened to common sense and personal responsibility? 

Is everything that happens to us, someone else's fault, that they should 
be sued for?

If we spill hot coffee in our own lap in the car, should we sue the 
coffee growers? The coffee sellers? The restaurant? The car company who 
sold us the car? It's absurd and is caused by the new socialism.

Oh where's mine then?! What can I play the lawsuit lotto with?! Ouch! I 
just burned my mouth from eating their fries when they were too hot! 
They should cook them cold! It's their fault! I should sue them. Where's 
my check?!
