Get a Life Award

I am constantly appalled at how litigious our society has become.

Again, this one is a two parter, first to Mary Ann Anzalone for suing the animal hospital where her cat was killed by a rottweiler for get this for pain and suffering. Not negligence on the part of the animal hospital employee; I'm guessing because that's too hard to prove. But, for her pain and suffering over the loss of her beloved pet. Now, I guess I need to explain something to you, but dogs kill cats. It's part of the natural order. I understand you loved the animal, but grieve and move on. I'm sure that your fifty other cats will give you comfort anyway If not, I am guessing you could find one just as nifty at www.saveapet.com. Last time I was stopped by, they had like a hundred of them waiting for a good home.

The second part of this get a life award goes to the Illinois Court of Appeals for actually overturning a previous decision and clearing the way for Mary to receive money for her pain and suffering. What in the world are you thinking? The decisions of some judges in this country never cease to amaze me.
