To pass the blame. No one wants to accept responsibility so they either sue to shift the blame or they have to sue to assign the blame to the person who is denying responsibility. It seems that our society in general wants freedom of choice, but not the accountability that comes with it. Therefore if you want to avoid accountability, you sue someone else for letting you do it, or not stopping you from doing it, or you did it because they influenced you to do it. I wonder how many Guilty pleas are recorded in comparison to Not Guilty pleas...

To quote Douglas Adams...again...I'm sure, to everyone's collective dismay... "This planet has -- or rather had -- a problem, which was this: most of the people on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy. And so the problem remained; lots of the people were mean, and most of them were miserable, even the ones with digital watches." Money. And the want of it.
