Liability

Liability is about making the injured party whole: sounds fair & egalitarian, I feel sorry for injured people. But what if the injured party is struck by lightening? What if the responsible party is a "turnip" (uncollectable)? What if the injured party causes their own injury? So, out the window goes fairness and all we're left with is cynical profiteering, plus the exploitation, hubris, self-righteousness, and shear extortion of the liability industry. If an injured person needs help, that's a collective responsibility to make sure all get the help they need, not a jackpot for 1 in 100 while 99 injured people suck wind.
