We desperately need tort reform, but whaddya going to do? The vast majority of our "lawmakers" are lawyers. Hungry young lawyers, just coming into their own, need more laws to make new ways to sue for infringement. Here's my first solution. Loser pays in civil court. I think England has something like that, and that rule would thin out the frivolity and specious gambling on a favorable outcome somewhat. Second solution. One judge's verdict should "not" set a precedent in the courts, even if unchallenged higher up the judicial chain. One horse judges have far too much power nationally. Remediation of lousy verdicts is minimal at best. 2 cents leo |

Another way is seeing our courts as a great equalizer between the average American citizen and large corporations. Tort reform really exists to stack the deck in favor of the corporations. Who the heck do you think is pushing tort reform? All that propaganda is just a scam to make you believe that it's grass-roots organizations wanting reform. That's a lie. People believe that our courts are awash with frivolous claims. I have no idea why people believe that. That just doesn't make any sense. |

My way of looking at it: Your view of "large corporations" is precisely my view of the "federal government". The corporations influence the crooks that make our laws. It's called graft, but Congress has made sure that it isn't by passing laws that make it legal. That legal construct is a never argued congressional crime that has damaged our country and our trust in each other. leo |

A 30 year old guy once called me sir, whereas the standard here is "mate", for almost everybody. Maybe I have to dye my hair. |

Really backyard over the fence stuff. > Janet US Buy a Ring doorbell and download the Ring App. You get all that stuff within a five mile radius with glorious, motion activated, video. I haven't joined the Ring neighborhood group but get it all anyway. Sometimes, the TV news shows Ring videos that I've already seen as criminal alerts. I generally check if it's the postman. Don't set Ring sensitivity and have the ability to see every car and person that passes far in front of your doorbell for a short period of time. I am not promoting Ring. It just gives one a sense of insecurity. leo |

You don't have one of those, do you? If so, be very afraid. I have one, and I'm not, but you should be. Don't you think? leo |

I read them all, under "rooms/shared" because it's my I DO as a small business. Very small. I only make $500/mo as Bel Nor only legally limits me to two unrelated other household members.m Something I want to put to a vote to Bel Norians when I run for and become Mayor of Bel Nor after I retire here. I feel that each Bel Nor homeowner should autonomously decide how many if ANY renters they rent rooms to in THEIR homes so long as they do so responsibly, and NOT have it mandated to them in some ancient "law" which actually contains the text "(excluding servants)" because NO ONE TODAY has servants. That demeaning term should be stricken from the rules to which Bel Norians must adhere to, and as I said *I* will suggest it should be up to the AUTONOMY of each and every Bel Norians so long as they do so RESPONSIBLY! > We all know that's how he finds his boarders. I certainly don't give a > shit about what he finds on Craigslist. YMMV Nope! Wrong AND incorrect. I just like looking at the 'rooms/shares' ads because it gives me a good look at who is offering rooms and shared living as I do and at what prices! I rarely see any as inexpensive as I charge. Some close, but most as people looking to make a LOT of money doing it like: https://stlouis.craigslist.org/roo/d/chesterfield-room-for-rent-ask-for/7104913964.html And the obvious scams like: https://stlouis.craigslist.org/roo/d/saint-louis-singlecouple-both-okey/7107484263.html WHO posts a super sexy FEMALE'S pic for an honest shared living situation.
