I Hate Lawyers

As we all probably remember, last month 3 young boys suffered a tragic, yet accidental (albeit preventable) death when they became trapped in the trunk of a car in a backyard.

Of course the lawyers now have to swing in and turn this tragedy into a spectacle.

CNN.com - Lawyer:Boys were alive in trunk during search

I just love this sentence:

However, a lawyer for Anibal Cruz's family said responsibility for the deaths is now "squarely on the shoulders of the police."

Allow me to make sure I understand this:

The parents are not responsible.
The owner of the car is not responsible.
The boys themselves are not responsible.
The only entity responsible for their deaths are the police.

Hmmmm.. makes perfect sense! Why, the police should follow our children around on a daily basis to make sure they don't trip, scrape a knee, or bruise an arm! I think someone should propose legislation that every child should be assigned a police guardian to protect our children from day-to-day harm. One cannot possibly expect a parent/guardian to bear this burden.

Note: My wit and wisdom made me think of the old African proverb which teaches us that it 'takes a village to raise a child'. Just look at the success the African continent has enjoyed over the past century too!

I suppose this is what we should expect in modern-day America. Low-life, money-grubbing lawyers looking to make a buck and a name for themselves. They all make me sick to my stomach.
