Burn the entire system to the ground.

The question for almost all of our problems is “how do you fix it”.

With the current social and political structure we have, they cannot be fixed.

The ONLY way to fix any of the issues within our society is to burn it down and start over with more localized control.



So, the honest answer is, you cannot fix it. You lawyers have screwed it up beyond fixing.

How, exactly?

Are we just going to speak in abstracts and histrionics?

The same issues you're complaining about have existed as long as we've had civil codes (At least about 2500 years. The LA Civil Code is a vestige of the Roman empire, via Justinian code, which is about 1500 years old). English common law is less old but still over 1k years old, and, again, has had debates on these same issues (the common law is built around these debates so it's not shocking).

I'm not even really defending the system as much as trying to have people identify the specific issues. We can't even have a discussion without this. You'll get ignorant responses like "loser pays" from people who clearly don't understand the conversation they've just joined.
