    Eceryone everywhere appears to hate statuses of limitations, but they exist for a reason, namely that after some time society needs to move on. It may be disappointing, or even cruel, for the victims, but we can't keep litigating the past forever.

    Espescially so in the "land of the free" which is the land of lawyers and lawsuits.

        If you had some mistake on your mortgage paperwork in 1993, your bank would probably feel that way about it already.
