Absolutely this.

While lawsuits seem to drive the American economy, maybe we don't all have a lawsuit fund to go alongside our medical expense account, because we're too busy paying for housing and heat and light and food and gas.

...and maybe we shouldn't feel like the credible threat of a lawsuit is the only thing keeping people in line.
