Lawsuit Abuse

I don't understand it. We can put a man on the moon. We can help people with HIV live for years. We can invent and maintain this thing called the Internet. But we can't prevent lawsuit abuse. As someone told me recently, "that's one of the great things about America...anyone can sue anyone." Crazy me, but wouldn't that be one of the negative things about our country. I won't go into details (or else my attorney get mad) but I feel cheated. I feel wronged. I don't understand. All I say is that I believe in karma. So there. And occasionally, alcohol makes everything better.
