But after stints in Malaga, Amsterdam, London, and Marseilles, I believe you. The legal systems there in Europe, in aggregate, do seem fairer and more logical than what the USA has. Especially with respect to small business.
Maybe "Ever." was overstating the case. But I do think that in most of Europe you need to worry about litigation so much less that it makes the US system seem bizarre.
(This is also true in Tokyo, where I live. This makes me suspect that some kind of weird outlier thing is going on in the USA with regard to litigation, as it is with infant mortality, literacy, etc.)
