I Fear for Our Future 

Especially when I read things like this:

A Jeannette woman who was slightly injured after being struck by a train while walking along railroad tracks sued Norfolk Southern Corp. Thursday for failing to warn pedestrians that trains travel on tracks.

Patricia M. Frankhouser, of [address removed], is seeking an unspecified amount in excess of $30,000 from the Norfolk, Va., rail transport company for the Jan. 6 incident that left her with a broken finger, cuts on her hand and pain, according to the suit.

What did she think those long metal things on the ground were for? And when there was that big bright light on a huge multi-ton behemoth... she didn't think about moving? The loud horn didn't make her think "maybe I should move to the side"? I hope the train company fights this in court, and I hope the judge nails her with the court costs for filing a frivolous suit.
