We had a cookout on Sunday for several members of the family. When everyone left I realized that we a bunch of leftover hamburgers and hot dogs. I tried to get family to take some home and they did but I still had a lot left. At that point I could either freeze them or eat burgers every day for a while. However, I thought to myself that it would be great to bring these to a homeless shelter and let those folks eat well at no cost to the shelter.
Then it occurred to me, if one of them gets sick and some trial lawyer can attribute it to the hamburgers I donated then I would be sued. Then again maybe I wouldn't. Not willing to take that risk I put the extra burgers in my freezer for another time. I wonder how much good, fresh food is thrown out daily or put back in the freezer instead of being brought to feed the hungry simply because the donor is afraid of being sued?
The irony here is that trial lawyers typically vote for the Democrat candidate in droves. The same Democrat candidate that will usually demagogue about how the Republicans don't care about the poor and want to starve children.
Think about it.
