Quote from a bizarro-land lawyer who posts on HN who says he chose his job because he likes confrontation but then deletes his confrontational posts: "You've got the causality reversed. We're not bizarro world because we sue so much; we sue so much because we're bizarro world. To put it another way, it's not surprising that a small, high-trust, high-equality, high-consensus society like Denmark has much less need for formal dispute resolution than a large, low-trust, low-equality, low-concensus society like the U.S." Notice how he shifts from bizarro-land to "bizarro world". The rest of the world is not in all cases just like bizarro-land, or much worse. But when you are in bizarro-land, that's how the media often portrays it. And perhaps believing this makes it easier to tolerate bizarro-land and being stuck in it. Those with such a world view have my greatest sympathies. "... low trust, low equality, low consensus society." Sounds wonderful. What was that old Star Trek episode with the "energy force" shaped like a ball spinning near the ceiling causing everyone on the Enterprise to fight each other?
