Nebraska State Senator Suing God

There was a reason that Shakespeare once wrote "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers."

Something Tells Me It's Going To Be An Uphill Battle

First off let me try and sort out which part of this story is nuttier?

Would it be that the senator is filing a lawsuit against "God" of all things, or is it worse that he's filing the suit to fight the restriction of frivolous lawsuits?

One of the major problems in this country is that we have far too many lawsuits and far too many slip-and-fall lawyers pushing for theses suits. The finger is always pointed outward and nobody is responsible for anything. Everyone else is to blame for your own misfortunes except for you.

We have morphed into a society that is so in touch with the "it takes a village" mentality that we have no concept of self-preservation left. Suddenly everything that happens in our lives is out of our control and must be the intentional manipulations of somewhat better off or less better off than we are. It's all because of this or that because of this or that.

Now I am not saying that we have no need for lawyers or lawsuits as they are an important deterrent away from crime and fraud, but when the deterrent becomes the enabler, we have a problem.

In the state of Nebraska various legislators and state senators have brought forth bills to try and reduce the amount of fraudulent and petty lawsuits that have congested the system resulting in the delay and often dismissal of real and important cases.

What this asshat Ernie Chambers is trying to do is create a wide open door policy for lawsuits. As he was quoted as saying. "Anyone can sue anyone they choose, even God."

Not exactly Ernie.

It's not like someone can wake up in the morning see there neighbor outside and decide to file a lawsuit just for the spite of it. There has to be evidence, due process, and before that a negligent or intentional action in the first place.

But Chambers is working to an agenda and as scary as the thought is: it's working.

Many like Chambers march to the idea of mother government and a society in which every move is pre-planned in advance by the mother government. Nobody can step out of line and everyone has their every decision and action made for them.

Think about it people, we are now living in a society where someone can jump off a cliff, get injured, and sue the property owner for now warning them that if they jump off a cliff they might get injured. We live in a society where some pantie-waist judge can sue a dry cleaner for $54 million over a missing pair of pants because it caused him "mental anguish."

Who the hell gets mental anguish over a missing pair of pants?!

But I digress. Chambers was right in what he said but for all the wrong reasons. As it stands now we can sue anybody we want but that needs to be put to an end fast.
