Feeling lucky? Part two

Following on the heels of a similar story last week is this Spiked-central look at luck: "A society that cannot accept the concept of luck is one that seeks to attach blame to every undesired outcome. Unless we can accept bad luck we are destined to be governed by a risk-blame-litigation-compensation culture that suffocates initiative. For some, this culture can be rewarding. Tripping over an uneven paving stone, plus a note from a compliant doctor, plus the assistance of an enterprising lawyer, can yield untold riches - sometimes even without the tripping. But for others, this culture is threatening. All the traditional risks encountered in our daily lives are now overhung by legal and financial risks."
