I'd like to share a story that I heard on local talk radio...the host presented the item, so I'm assuming it's a true story...if so, it makes me sick.
A stewardess ( I know they aren't called that anymore, but I've forgotten the correct term) on South West Airlines knew the plane was about to depart and in a jovial manner said the following.....
"Eenie, meenie, minie, mo...take your seat, it's time to go."
Two African Americans on the flight were offended and brought a civil suit against the airline, alleging discrimination and racial prejudice.
After a couple of trips through the courts, and appeals, the lawsuit was eventually thrown out and found to be without merit.
Meanwhile, SouthWest is out a 6 figure sum preparing and presenting their defense.
I say if the plaintiff...the two African-Americans lose their frivolous lawsuit, they should be held accountable for any expense incurred by the defense.
It sickens me that the greed to make a quick buck in this country can lead to clogging up the courts.
Gee....I guess I shouldn't have said "buck?" I suppose I'll be sued now?
