$20,000 is *not* excessive for hospital bills.

Sure. That's what insurance or Medicare is for.

It's a travesty that McDonalds had to pay even one penny to this stupid old cow and her filthy leech lawyers. I don't care if they served the fucking coffee at a full rolling boil.

Or do you just prefer to libel innocent people who get hurt by corporations?

Libel huh? Who would think of that first, but a fucking lawyer parasite?

God Almighty do I hate lawyers. We need to smash the legal system. Limits on punitive damages, punitives paid to the state general fund instead of the scum sucking lawyers, loser-pays rules, no more contingency fees. Just for a start. Drive them out of business by the hundreds of thousands.

9 out of every 10 lawyers are useless fucking wastes of oxygen dragging down this country's economy. I want to see them unemployed, selling apples on the street corner, and hear the lamentations of their homeless wives and children.
