I was in the mall today and as I was walking out I noticed something funny on the little strollers that parents can rent to put their children in. There is a little mesh bag on the back of them that you can put little 'what not's' in if you don't have a purse or something I guess. On this bag is printed "please don't put children in bag". This was funny to me because I thought to myself, who the hell would put their child in a mesh bag when obviously the thing has a seat that just so happens to be child-shaped. As I was thinking about it it hit me. Somebody has actually done this. See, there is no personal responsibility in American society. You drink coffee that is obviously hot and burn yourself, you can sue. You eat a hamburger everyday and have a heart attack, you can sue. You smoke cigarettes and get cancer, you can sue. Basically, somebody put their child in the mesh bag of this stroller, something happend to the child and then somebody sued. Crazy. The company who makes these stroller-things was forced to put this tag onto the stroller sacks to keep crazy people from suing them. Funny. What the sign should say is "you can put your kid in this bag if you feel like it, but don't come running to us when something bad happens."
