Frivolous???

I googled 'frivolous' today and the FIRST thing that popped up was this:

Not having any serious purpose or value: "rules to stop frivolous lawsuits".

Not having any serious purpose or value....hmmmmm.  I wonder WHO is going to get to decide what makes a lawsuit frivolous?  Is our government going to decide?  Will it be like Torte Reform in Texas?  I've decided that this discussion will be much like that on Abortion.  You are either Pro-Life or you are Pro-Choice.  We create all kinds of shades of gray, but the truth remains, there is really only one way or the other.

And if you are pro-life can you also be pro-death penalty?  Isn't that a contradiction?  So, if you are pro-life, anti-death penalty and FOR Torte reform I wonder this....have you ever found yourself young, unwed and pregnant?  Have you ever found yourself waking up from a month long medically induced coma to find you almost died at the carelessness of a surgeon?  Have you had your child murdered by someone who is sitting on death row as you count the days until the execution?

In my forty years, I have found myself in two of these predicaments.  It doesn't really matter which two either!  All I know, is regardless of which of the two I have been through, NO ONE else should be allowed to dictate to me how I feel or what I think.  That is between me and God.  I will answer to him one day, I believe that whole heartedly.  What I am beginning to lose faith in is our country and their beliefs. 

Innocents are jailed every day, while the guilty run around free.  Everything in our society seems to revolve around money and who ever has the most, wins.  It's really kind of disgusting!  I've just written myself into a really, really bad mood...

But, at least I wrote...and it's not like anyone else is reading this anyway!
