Huckin Tom, Pt. 1

This is a series dedicated to Tom Fletcher who is in my mod and sits next to me (actually I sit next to him, if that makes sense) during all our classes. He was in fact the person who used me in his example during Contracts. In this series I will present the wise words and antics of Tom. But first off, you must understand Tom is about 6'5" and his mannerisms remind me a great deal of the comic book store guy

Friday: Torts

Prof. Moran: "Well Mr. Fletcher do you think we should have exemptions to the reasonable person standard for the mentally ill or deficient?"

Tom: "Well Holmes was a eugenicist!"

Fast forward to Saturday night where Tom and his roommates are throwing a party at their place...on the wall of quotes it is written,

" 'If mental defectives are to live in the world they should pay for the damage they do, and that it is better that their wealth, if any, should be used to compensate innocent victims than that it should remain in their hands' [emphasis added]"
