Gads. I'm trying to show you how the legal system *doesn't* work. All your points may be valid under court history, but that history is tainted. It doesn't mean the system is working, only that cases have been decided. And the court should not be ruling on issues of such accidents because guilt cannot established ("accidents" where there was no intention of harm, nor tacit agreement made between any parties) like a person giving a rose to their neighbor in an act of good will. Such events should use mediators, not judges because their is no *law* to be decided. The judges, or course, can act as mediators, but the court system seems bogged down enough already. I mean really, a good-will act? The Good Samaritan rules already establish that you can't sue people for good faith acts. Do you really want a world where *good intentions* are penalized? Come on -- that's why the system is broken and shame on every citizen that continues this error in system of the People. It doesn't matter if people get harmed, as long as good faith is in place before and after the event. The "system" shouldn't get dragged in because you want to act like a child and get your daddy to help you. Mark -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
