Somehow I was releived to see that that happened in Australia and not the USA.
It is usually in the USA that such awards are handed out, and I was thinking that we Amercans were sadly unique.
I have a belief as to why these awards happen. I think it is sympathy for the injured person, a desire to see he is taken care of, or sympathy for the family of the person who dies, for their pain, NOT really a judgement that someone was at fault.
I can see myself sitting on a jury and feeling sorry for the stupidest person, to feel desire to make sure he is taken care of.
I hope I would be able to overcome my maternal instincts and use logic, but I know that in my past I have reacted passionately and emotionally.

(or lustfully)
