An Expensive Bad Hair Day.

An Oregon student's mom says she might have been grateful if a school employee had given her son a good haircut.

But when her eight year old son returned from school with "next to nothing" on his head, she threatened to sue for the bad hair cut administered by a school employee without her permission.

Rather than head for the courthouse, The West Linn-Wilsonville School District agreed to pay the mom $10,000 to settle the case.

The boy, who is in the district's special education program at Cederoak Park Primary School, got the haircut on October 11th.

"First I was shocked," the mother told the newspaper. "Then I was embarrassed that I didn't have the money to get him a haircut. And then I was mad... I thought, 'What nerve. How invasive.' "

Invasive to the tune of ten grand, that is.

The single mother said she tried to keep her son's hair looking neat. "There was one stinking day, and I'm not lying, that I didn't brush his hair," she was quoted as saying.

The school's superintendent said the employee was wrong to play barber. "If someone needs a haircut, we'd be more than happy to go into our wallets to give them 20 bucks." Now they're reaching deep to fork over the $10,000, while not admitting any liability for the haywire hairdo. "We settled this case primarily because of the inordinate cost of defending," he said.

Legal Thieving

In 1997, Larry Harris of Illinois broke into a bar owned by Jessie Ingram. Ingram, the victim of several break-ins, had recently set a trap around his windows to deter potential burglars. Harris, 37, who was under the influence of both alcohol and drugs, must have missed the warning sign prominently displayed in the window. He set off the trap as he entered the window, electrocuting himself. The police refused to file murder charges. Harris’s family saw it differently, however, and filed a civil suit against Ingram. A jury originally awarded the Harris family $150,000. Later, the award was reduced to $75,000 when it was decided Harris should share at least half of the blame.

Yeah, haven't thought about. Perhaps all ladyboys should be informed of this method. Only costs you a coffee at Mickey D's.

I remember two cases, both in the USA.

The first was a woman who successfully sued a supermarket for negligence when she tripped over a child that was running wild and injured her ankle.

The child was hers.

The second was when a bank-robber successfully sued a bank for injury.

The wad of bills he had stolen from the vault and had shoved into his trouser pocket contained a paint bomb to render the cash useless. The paint bomb went off and caused injury to his privates.

To this day, banks now have to put warning signs in their bank vaults that paint bombs are hidden amongst the cash.

These types of lawsuits point out a few interesting things to me. The first is that anything can be rationalized; anything. In fact, there isn't a single system of thought which doesn't have rationale at it's base. All thought constructs are logic based. Not suprising since that's one of the specific functions, or purposes, of the mind.

People will take a set of specific ideas, group them together in a logical sequence, and viola, come up with a logical argument, or viewpoint, or perspective. Of course, ideas which run contrary to this set of ideas will, of necessity, be ignored in order for the idea construct to maintain it's integrity, it's uninterrupted flow of logical progression. The individual is generally not aware of what he's doing, though.

Considering the above, it then becomes quite obvious that anything anyone believes is done utilizing the exact same process. Perhaps some can see where this is leading.

The second interesting significance is that it points to the complete loss of values within much of society. Granted that religion has it's benefits, although it also many serious drawbacks, but with the decline of religion in many western societies where do people now get there mores from? What exists in society to serve as guidance? Money has replaced God as an icon of worship. Money has replaced a higher being as a source of deliverance and happiness.

While I'm not religious in even the loosest sense of the word, I do believe that guidance is available to let people know what's truly up and what's really down. I see societies continuing along certain idealogies which I know to be false. False in the sense that they are fundamentally unworkable, logically flawed, and ultimately doomed to failure, although at the cost of a great deal of pain. And I am curious as to what length of road must be traveled down these dead end lanes before people begin questioning the validity of some of their thought constructs.
