[at-l] what is safety, and/or America's wimpification?

[Clark Wright]

I was waiting for that one! :)  As I LOVE to point out, lawyers never sue
anybody, and never render jury verdicts either; think about those two,
simple truisms for a minute . . . for any lawsuit to be filed, a PERSON must
authorize the lawyer to file the suit, and for any verdict to be reached in
a civil or criminal case, with very rare exceptions, that verdict is
rendered by everyday folk like you and me - often requiring a unanimous
decision . . . the bottom line is that it is good folk like you and me who
both make the decisions of who to sue and over what, and the decisions about
who deserves what at the end of the case - something to think thru! :)

In reading the thread triggered by scouting tents and such, I am reminded of
one of the most important, and difficult dilemmas of our time - namely, our
desire - whether as a parent, scout leader, government official, medical 
services provider, teacher, coach or insurance adjuster to AVOID danger and
protect those in our charge or care, versus what I believe is a critical
need that we INTENTIONALLY EXPOSE our children (and ourselves) to danger in 
order to help them grow and learn and better be able to take care of
themselves and others as they grow older.  <snip>


 
Please don't take this as a personal attack against you or your profession,
Thru-Thinker, but I couldn't help but be reminded that one of the primary
reasons scout leaders, government officials, medical service providers,
teachers, etc., etc., wish to avoid danger is because of the fear of
lawsuits.
