The Convoluted Legal System

[xoxoxoBruce]

The legal system in the US is hailed as our saving grace... trials by a jury of our "peers" protect us. But we've all heard stories of a convoluted system of laws and lawyers that make us shake our heads.

I remember Bob, a tenant of my brother's, who restored stained glass windows. He was doing a large window of a church in Boston, and hired a scaffolding company to erect the scaffold for the job. It seems the scaffold company failed to attach toe boards along the edge of the walking surface, and Bob was fined something approaching 6 figures.

Well here's another case that gets rather complicated. Much more than necessary, methinks.
