Suing is the new great American past time.
Fat? Sue McDonalds
Stupid? Sue the schools
Poor? Sue everyone!
One of the best principles in law used to be the prudent person standard. If you did something idiotic, you have no claim.
Now, curling irons say don't insert orally; hair dryers warn to not use in the shower.
THE COURTS DONT HAVE TO CERTIFY EVERY IDIOT LAWSUIT, BUT THEY DO !!
...but don't get me started.

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed one." - Thomas Jefferson quoting Cesare Beccaria
