Here’s an amazing little news item. Go read what Chasing the Wind has to say about it.
Me, I am just shaking my head in astonishment that people like this neighbor actually exist. That she was successful in court says more about our litgious society than I care to know. Let’s just pretend it never happened ok?
The world is full of rude awakenings
And heaven-born castles shattered to the ground,
Yet still our human longing vainly clings
To a belief in beauty through all wrongs.
O stay your hand, and leave my heart its songs!
–Amy Lowell (from the poem To a Friend)
Shame on the court for finding for the woman! In the story it states that she claimed she thought it might be a burglar or neighbors with whom she had a conflict in the past. The plate of cookies should have dispelled those notions and put her mind at ease. the fact that they faile dot do so tells me she is either a liar, looking for a lawsuit, or that she is abnormal. Those girls should not be held responsible because the woman’s paranoia drove her to have a anxiety attack. While tort reform is much needed in this country, it would not have protected the girls in this case. What this country really needs is a good dose of common sense and for Americans to quit thinking they are entitled to something anytime things dont’ go as planned.
You know what. Everyone in that community knows who that woman is now. I bet her life isn’t going to be very pleasant from here on out and she can’t sue everybody. This is just one of those situations that karma is going to have fix.
