> Patents political but on topic

In the UK the loser has to pay the winner's legal fees I believe. In any case there is a penalty for loosing a suit.

Thousands of people employed by our legal system have cush jobs that produce nothing. 43% of congress are lawyers.

Its not necessarily the patent system, its the tort system. Any unemployed lawyer can file a suit, it costs them virtually nothing.

And it goes right through our society. The construction business is even worse. We've been sued on jobs we didn't even work on. I could tell you stories.
