Wouldn't things change with these frivolous lawsuits if the LOSER pays? If I knew that I wouldn't lose anything other than time, then I might be compelled to sue if the only outcome was nothing to loose or millions to gain. But if I knew that I'd have to pay a ton of lawyer fees for both the defense and prosecution lawyers I might be a lot more reluctant to sue regardless of how big the win might be.

Hmmm.... it seems that last week when I was shopping, the bill came to $200 and I had severe emotional distress. Could I sue for that?
