Pumps' Perplexities

It seems that "taking a stand" has been negated by the
law profession......Since there are two sides of a story, and
the best story teller (of the represented side) wins, you
can lose by "taking a stand".......

Even if you, in this modern world, do the right thing.....You
may lose if the other side has a better story teller than
you hired.......What gets me, today, is that what is the
truth is no longer important......It has all come down to
what side has the better "legal" story - "under the law"......
(That is what the judge is for - "the law)........

There are many stories about school bus drivers in the news
lately......And the poor drivers never come out winners.....
If there is a fight in the back of their bus......Should they
stop the fight, they get sued by a parent or two.....If they
do not stop the fight they get fired by the school district......

What really gets me is that, it is better to be fired by the
school district, because it does not cost you any additional
money......If you get sued, you have to pay for a lawyer
to defend your position.....And if you do win the court case,
there may be a civil case against you by one or both
parents for some "civil rights" infringement, or such.......

With the world getting so complicated, maybe it is time
to go back into a cave and protect yourself with a pile of
rocks and some big sticks......At least you will keep the
lawyers away.......They hate big rocks.......Pumps
