今天沒去舞會 在宿舍取暖
原本想看看法緒的 = = 結果開始看政治新聞
然後開始看政治社論
然後開始寫文回社論
我的晚上就這樣不見兩半了...*
快來做點有意義的事 = ="
All Fired Up
Valerie Schwartz, of Vero Beach, Florida, sued Indian River County for
negligence after allegedly being attacked by a swarm of fire ants that blew
out of a public park restroom hand dryer. Schwartz claimed that while fending
off the ants she fell on the concrete floor of the restroom, causing injury
to her back, neck and knee. A jury deliberated for less than 30 minutes,
determining her story was inconsistent, without enough evidence to support
the claim. Lyman Reynolds, the attorney who represented the county, pointed
out that hand dryers produce a lot of heat and are not a "nice, cozy
environment for ants to live in," and there have been no other reported
incidents. Schwartz’s lawyer, Russell Thacker, said he does not plan to
appeal the verdict, seeing more and more an "inherent cynicism among
potential jurors (about personal injury lawsuits)."
