warrrreagl,
I am a pragmatist and nothing else. If something can be made to work (considering the facts of human nature and human institutions), then I see it as worth mentioning. I believe the complaints voiced above are just that - they don't lead to any fixes, just more complaining.
A method of potentially "fixing" a problem like this is petitioning for things like limits to awards for liabilities, etc. - or electing representatives that are more to our liking.
The only other way to fix socio-politrical problems is by having revolutions. Those are easy to talk about but talking about them just makes "revolutionaries" feel good. That isn't interesting to me.
Mostly though, when something represents the facts of human behavior and human institutions well, I see it as a fitting situation.
Again, I have an interest in things that have to do with practical solutions. If I do not see a pragmatic way through a situation, I have no interest in it.
And if I assess that practical solutions will not "fix" something (because people and institutions are the way they are), then I don't pursue the complaining route - the world doesn't need another complainer.

Edit -
warrrreagl,
I'm only addressing you in general here. I'm not saying you're the object of my descriptions. Basically, I thought I'd take the time to outline my general view of this issue. I'm responding to the whole threadhere.
Thanks,
Art
