[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by M.W. Hemphill Jim: I would agree with everything you opined except I wouldn't single out the court system as a independent actor -- judges are either elected by us or appointed by people we elect, juries are composed of us, attorneys are paid by us, so it follows that the legal system reflects U.S. social beliefs. If we want the legal system to change, we have to change. It would be nice if judges, juries, and attorneys all decided to do the right thing regardless of the rest of us, but I don't think for a second that we would tolerate that -- we'd fire the bums! But your main point is that people have come to believe their individual rights trump every thing, every time, every place, to the point that they believe they have no responsibility toward others at all. As you illustrate, a good place to see this is on the street or highway. I've gotten into the habit of reporting every commercial driver I see breaking traffic laws, and guess what, the companies I call rarely bother to even act concerned about it.
