Readers Aren’t Willing to Pick Up the Check for Shoe on This One
As I was reading the sports page on April 18, I was sickened to read that Bill Shoemaker is suing the State of California over his accident. I thought he was paralyzed from the neck down, not the neck up.
Willie claims that the State of California was negligent because it did not have rubber guardrails along the entire stretch of the freeway to keep drunks from running off the road. It was also negligent because there were no signs advising him that the road conditions are dangerous when you are drunk.
What is it going to take to make this idiot and others like him realize that they are responsible for their own actions? The government and the taxpayers cannot carry you throughout life.
I sounds as if Willie misses the ponies so much he is trying to throw a saddle on the taxpayers and take us for one last ride.
