Plenty of lessons

Sun., April 6, 2014

Pat Lewis (March 28) should be thankful we live in a country where civilized citizens have a venue to resolve disputes. Our legal system is not perfect, but it may be the best in the world. We can all take the lesson to heart, and be mindful to not ignore when the legal system comes knocking.

And if David Whitmire does not know enough about boats to believe a 50-year-old, $950 boat is going to be anything but a money pit, then he is not yet educated enough about boats to own one.

As for the law students who brought this suit: They should know that just because they have the power to sue somebody over something so utterly stupid does not mean they ought to.
