"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
City of Des Moines’ Pans to Avert Sledding Lawsuits before Council Tonight
Submitted by Emmett Harris on Tue, 2013-09-10 00:00
“Des Moines is among a growing list of cities looking for ways to protect themselves from lawsuits that can arise when people are injured while sledding on public property … Sioux City faced a $2.75 million payout when a man injured his spinal cord after sliding backward into a parking sign. The city’s insurance carrier paid $1.97 million.” This is the flip side of the nanny-state coin. A guy hurts himself because he decided to take a recreational risk and he holds the government – ultimately the taxpayers - responsible for his own poor judgement.
