My idiot box is my computer, so no, not a good idea to just unplug it, might short out something. and 2, I dont have a lap top, so I have to stay inside and no, I dont have wireless either, I guess I could drag my comp out on the porch, but the glare on the monitor pisses me off, so I keep the curtians shut, nobody knows if I am around, I am quiet, well sometimes my porn surfing will bring a supprise or 2, but thats a different thread

What started all this "I am not accountable for my actions" (in the US that is) is the fault of trial lawyers and the judges that allowed the awards. I admit that a person should have the right to sue, BUT they should pay if they LOOSE. That old lady that got burnt from a hot cup of coffee from McDonalds should never have gotten the large payout she got, should she have had her medical bills paid, yes, but MY GOD, coffee is HOT and your driving a car you dip, not smart I think and if she did something like that, some of the responsibility should be hers.

Punitive damages are outragous as it is, if a company does something wrong they should pay, but it shouldnt be a lotto.
