If someone so much as looks at you wrong, you sue them. It's now the American way.

Your sentiment is well taken. I've noticed a propensity for relatively minor disputes to escalate into full fledged litigation within a matter of days. It seems to be especially true online, although I have no evidence to support my general observations. Maybe it's not as bad as it seems.

Specific to the quote above...

Within the rapidly rotting urban core of most major U.S. cities, looking at someone the wrong way is more likely to get you stabbed or shot. ;-)
