I remember that being reported, and I’m sad to say I was one of the people at the time who assumed she was being frivolous and “sue happy.” The influence these large corporations have on the flow of information is real.

I learned from that, though, which is why I’d really hesitate to pass judgment on the woman in this article. Even the way the title of the article is worded – “Florida woman…” – seems subtly worded to try to make this poor woman look unhinged.
