Nuts!

Snoopy sends his love:

Despite protests by angry parents, a school in Florida is standing behind its decision to implement new regulations to protect a first grade student suffering from a severe peanut allergy.

Students at Edgewater Elementary are required to wash their hands and rinse their mouths out before entering the classroom each morning and after lunch. Teachers, who monitor the daily rinsing, must also ensure that desks are being continually wiped down with Clorox wipes. The school has banned all peanut products, eliminated snacks in the classroom and prevented outside food at holiday parties. And last week a peanut-sniffing dog was brought into the school.


I don't even blame the school officials; I blame lawyers. Welcome to the United States of Litigation.

We are on track to become the Idiocracy. It's a race to see which group of despicable subhumans can destroy the country first: trial lawyers, idiot environmentalists, greedy politicians, or deluded socialists. I'm placing my bet on an environmental trial lawyer running for a Democrat Senate seat.

Sorry, That already happened. His name was John Edwards ...... and about half the Democrats in congress now. For that matter about half the Republicans too.

I thought Edwards was a malpractice vulture, but no matter. Neither of the sub-professions qualifies him as a human being.

It is a warning sign that there are thousands (yes THOUSANDS) of specializations within the trial law profession in this country. What does that mean? Well, think about what you do for a living and consider how many specialist positions exist in your career field. I guarantee you it's not in the thousands -- or even in the hundreds. And that is just trial law; there are whole other sectors of legal practice that don't involve direct trials.

Leeches. Big, disgusting, bloated, money-sucking leeches.

Litigation plays such a major role in my profession that now classes for us begin with legal issues and covering your ass long before you learn anything about what you are supposed to be doing.
I have no idea how to do my job, but I can document the hell out of it to keep me out of court or pass the buck.
