A co-worker sent me this article (newsletter?) and I thought it was quite interesting and 100% true. Its main focus is the weird and oftentimes "contrary to common sense" warning labels on various products. What's the reason for this? The article sums it up pretty well.
"This underscores an even greater problem that's contributing to the deterioration of the America we know: The tendency of our court system to hold the individual blameless, no matter how asinine his or her conduct. Nowadays, it's the product's fault for not having a warning against every irrational or ridiculous thing you could do, the state's fault for not having a sign posted, the restaurant's fault for serving coffee that's too hot.
Where's our individual accountability? Somehow I must have missed the label warning that read: "Caution: American ideals, identities, standards, education, entrepreneurial rights and legal liability precedents subject to change without notice.""
This just builds upon my already well thought out notion: People, in general, are stupid.
