The Blame Game, who really wins?

I woke up one morning a few weeks ago, and a thought hit me... Hit me quite hard too, as I still have the bruise to prove it. The thought might be slightly insane... But then I never admitted to being sane, infact I abhor the idea of sanity. The thought though? It went along these lines...

Are we such sheep, that we constantly let governments just walk all over us? Sure, there are those that question the political path... But in my observation 90% of us just plod along, dumbly following what the media tell us, and what big business tell us. I'm one of those sheep myself, I sit quietly and just live my life. But life has become very reactionary hasn't it?

Someone wrongs us, and we sue. An accident happens and we find someone to blame, and then sue. Are we not just following the "normal" way of life? Hmm you tell me... Was suing as big as it is these days, ten years ago? I'm sure it was with big business, and now that everything gets cheaper, it is within the general publics reach. To me that's fair I guess... But where does it stop? This blame game? It is the cause of laws being written, Business's going broke because they can't afford to pay the insurance needed. Community markets and events can't raise enough many to pay the insurance they need to protect themselves these days... And it just gets worse.

These days, households are responsible to provide third party insurance for their own yards. Laws are created to make sure people have Insurance. Long gone are the days that if you slip over in someone's yard, you take resposibility for your own actions. Now, you just blame someone else. There are SO many stories of people suing for the stupidest of things. A woman suing a council for not warning her that Magpies may divebomb during mating season. A thief tripping and falling over a hose on the roof of the museum that he was robbing. Friends suing other friends because they slipped on a step in their back yard. These people get away with it... Why?

And do we really wonder why there are people out there willing to just walk out into the middle of the road? Or why their are people who try and roughed the insurance system, driving up our premiums? Or why people want to take over the world with Killer robots?
