Actually, you can fix the litigation problem in the U.S. (and to a

this in Canada);

That's the way it works in Germany, too. And it strives me as much fairer.
Why on earth should a citizen have to suffer financially (and materially
as
it is) when somebody else accuses him of wrongdoing without justification?
I cannot see how this system could be invented in the first place and why
the American people have not gotten rid of it a long time ago.


The USA is the ONLY nation that uses the "each side pays their own".
