In Texas, we can all comfortably say that we'd rather be sued. I don't think citizens of other states have it so good. They are often given labels with negative connotations for having the audacity to defend themselves, and their attackers are portrayed as victims.
It's not for me to say whether their choice is a wise one or not, but I certainly sympathize with them regarding their oppression.

Re: Civil lawsuits
I think the reasoning behind these people's thinking is that a person that has worked hard and has assets stands to lose a lot more than a person that has nothing and would likely never be held accountable for any moneys owed.Charles L.

I've never understood that philosophy which in essence is saying, "it would be better to die than to get sued."

I feel for the people in those states, and would like to see their state laws turned more in their favor.
