    Jury awards used to be in the thousands ...

    Now they're in the millions.
    These days Jury Awards for the slightest affront to a person's
    sensibilities - like an accidental racist remark - are up in the
    double digit millions. These awards are way past what could
    be called reasonable, and are in turn inviting lawsuits for such
    things as being fired, no matter the reason, or for not being
    invited to the company picnic, or for being told that wearing
    a bikini to Court is not suitable attire. Deliberately provoking
    an affront might get you a multi million dollar payout, so why
    not try your luck as you'd probably stand a better chance of
    becoming rich with a lawsuit than you would with the lottery.
