Actually, I try to avoid the court system and use of lawyers. So far, so good. I guess I've not been pushed far enough.

I see so many people's pets, primarily dogs, running loose on the country roads, where they will be more easily killed by motorists. I never understand it. Seems at the very least, pets should be trained to not leave their areas. I'm A$$-U-Me-ing dogs can be trained in that way. I've had dog owners watch their dogs chase me down while cycling, never once calling to them. I guess they enjoyed the show. One was particularly aggressive so I yelled at the owner, "He hurts me and my bike and you pay." That ended his dogs freedom to "run the road."
