I could not believe this story when I heard it. I don't know why anything surprises me anymore.
The story began like this:
A New York attorney, Arelia Margarita Taveras, pictured left, is suing several Atlantic City Casinos was the tease. At this point I wasn't overly interested. I assumed, as many would, that there was a legitimate wrong that she was fighting for. When they came back on and I heard the actual story I wanted to drive to New York and slap this woman upside her head. You see, she likes to gamble. She like to gamble so much she lost her job, was disbarred for stealing from clients, mortgaged her parent's house (which they are now being foreclosed on) and she had ruined her life. Let me say that last part again; SHE RUINED HER LIFE. By her account she lost about a million dollars while playing the tables.
So why the lawsuit? Well, apparently it was all the casinos fault. No freaking lie. She is suing for 23 freaking million dollars. McDonald's hot coffee was one thing but suing a casino because you can't walk away. How did she think the casino's pay for all those blinking lights, and the free rooms they often provided her? I don't ever want to go to New York. I don't want to risk being infected with her stupid. I am guessing it is contagious.
Sorry, I had to get that out.

I totally agree. But, she is suing because she has been taught that the judicial system will pay these ridiculous lawsuits. Do you think she invented this idea herself? Nope. Our system taught her to do this. This doesn't make it any better and she doesn't have an ounce of character, but she did it because there is a reasonable chance that she'll be awarded some money. Ugghh...this stuff makes me crazy.
