I have a wonderful idea for a law that everybody will love: at birth,
everybody is sentenced to life-time prison and payments worth a
$ 5 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000. Then, all suits become unnecessary
because everyone is already guilty and enough charged. Furthermore,
lawyers will happily welcome all new babies and gather their 10 %.
Isn't that lovely? I'm sure this suggestion is most welcome and will
pass through by the end of this year.
