I know of no other country where business suffers legal costs to the same extent as business does in the U.S.A. On the other hand there is no other country in which it is so easy to set up your own business. We can either choose a government controlled model, in which starting your own, furniture business requires a year worth of permits, or we can freely allow you to make chairs, but if they break all too often and injure people, then I can sue your pants off. Sure the system can be reformed, but the main problem seem to be cumbersome legal proceedings in which lawyers must show up in court for five minutes to simply enter a non-guilty plea (wasn't there a case out there of a court which had tripled the number of cases it heard by simply going electronic and allowing use of e-mail --properly autenticated of course--)
