Common Sense Rules

It's about damn time. As if to reply to my remarks regarding the law suit against McDonald's and Weight Watchers, a U.S. Federal Judge dismissed the obesity case brought against McDonald's. The judge ruled that McDonald's was not responsible for an individual's obesity. Well, if not McDonald's then who? We can't be held personally accountable for anything now a days. I know, Burger King....it must be their fault.

Although it would not surprise me to see such a complaint brought against BK next, hopefully this one decision will set a precedence in these frivolous and wasteful lawsuits. With any luck at all, more cases such as these will be tossed out of court before too many of our tax dollars are wasted on them.
