A Little Sue Happy Are We

December 10, 2009

I saw a commercial today for whocanisue.com.  Yes.  I'm serious.  The site is designed to help you determine if you could sue.  

Have we really become a nation that feels so entitled to virtually everything that we would sue for (quite literally) anything?  Where is the sense of personal responsibility?  Where is the drive to better ourselves?  (Note: I'm not saying there aren't actual situations where legal action makes sense.  But in general, this site advertises itself as a place to just find out if you can sue.  For anything.)

Let's face it.  You're not entitled to things.  You have to work hard at things, work hard for things.  And there's just no way around it.
