So we beat on, boats against the current...
So in Torts class we're discussing "strict liability." One example is you're not liable if your cow escapes from your pasture (through no negligence of your own), and bites a person who happened to be walking by.
Unless, of course, (the professor goes on) it was a "particularly vicious cow" with a history of biting.
So I'm doing the Environmental Law Moot Court this fall/spring. It's a case where Canadian Inuits are suing the 5 largest American greenhouse emitters for damages due to them having to relocate their village (due to melting ice) and some loss of industry (their main income source, fishing).
Thankfully, I'm on a team playing the part of the evil corporation, which is far more fun than playing the tree-huggers. We call ourselves "the anti-Planeteers."
And, on a final note, I lost all my socks. Like 3 or 4 pairs. I don't know where socks go on their own. Sometimes I suspect the Sock Gnomes come around 3 AM, and steal my socks for their own nefarious purposes. But regardless I need to go buy more at some point this weekend...
