The other day there was a story posted here about why Swiss skiers and sledders seldom sue, with the question asked why they don’t. This current story provides a good contrast to that. I think the difference is that the Swiss appear to still believe in personal responsibility. In America, on the other hand, there are large numbers of people who have outsourced their sense of responsibility to everyone around them – whose attitude is “I am not responsible for my actions; everyone else around me is responsible for looking out for my safety”. It’s pretty obvious which attitude will lead to a flood of lawsuits.

I just use the voices in my head as my personal adviser.

Google can simply amend their program so that the plaintiff ends up in Outer Mongolia instead of court on the day of the trial. Problem solved.

I might argue with them if they didn’t mumble.

Just remember, Bob, it’s time to see a shrink when you:
1) Argue with voices in your head, and
2) Loose.

I thinking of filing a defamation case against Google Maps because Street View shows me in a compromising position through my family room window.
