The New Lottery
A chance arises to not be poor anymore, to quit the job, to pay the creditors, to be somebody, to get what you want with the added spice of getting revenge (you can't do that to me!) shifting blame (it's not my fault!) easing frustration (nobody cares about how I feel!) And the chance is… spilling hot coffee getting hit by a foul ball your kid flunking a course eating fast-food fat getting hurt robbing somebody anybody looking at me funny Emotional distress found in any nook and cranny. Physical damage discovered in any shape and size. Any pain. Any anguish. (Limited only by your imagination.) Here is the creed: Anything that goes wrong is somebody else's fault. And they should pay. Me. A lot. Grab a chance. It's the Age of the Lawsuit Lottery. Harry W. Yeatts Jr. |
