This can't be the USA I learned to love.

That was pretty good. I look forward to reading about the other 44 and a half things.

Wonder what they might be.

Good guess would be ''advanced playing with fire'' aka setting up a grill capable amber bed, sewing and low voltage electric circuits.

And more on topic: there is a reason I don't allow children near my dog.
He is not aggresive but a wrong move by the dog and the child is knocked to the ground.... lawsuit. Dog gets to excited, jumps on the child.... lawsuit.

Aye, and that is the problem, lawsuits. If you took away the ability to hide behind lawyers then people might actually have to fix their issues properly.
Or, in some places they'd probably just shoot the problem.
Of course, again, Catch-22 because in some instances lawsuits ARE required, so how do you determine which is which? Some instances are pretty clear cut, others are somewhat less so.
There are no good answers, and that's why things are the way they are.

I'd put in a ''idiotic lawsuit'' clause, where judge can decide if the case is worth a lawsuit.
They are judges afterall.

That works until the judges are given money to declare a specific case to be not worth a lawsuit.

Aye, but laws are always going to be abused so we need to find the lesser of two evils.
