What a sad world we live in

So you’re a teenager and you steal a gun from a family friend and use it to shoot your teacher. His widow sues everyone in a wrongful death suit. The jury finds that the friend who’s gun you stole is 50% liable for the death. The school board is 45% liable for his death, and the company that distributes that particular model of gun is 5% liable. You, as the person who committed at least three crimes, (stealing the gun, unlawful possession of a firearm, and murder) are not found to have any liability in the death of your teacher.

The whole concept of personal responsibility really is dead, isn’t it?

    I’m getting a number of emails from THC customers wondering if I have any more information than they do, but I really don’t.

    We made it home late last night. You can hear the audioblogging of the trip over at Angela’s . She even managed to be sneaky and get my voice on one of the posts. It was before coffee, that’s really not fair. While we enjoyed ourselves, and there was definitely some neat things to see,…
