Lawsuit in Wyoming
In a barbaric country, thousands and thousands of pages of documents are drawn up to create a contract that is legally binding.
In a civilized country, you either shake the others' hand or look him or her in the eye to consummate the deal.
In a barbaric country, documents that have been drawn up are taken to a notary who assures each party that the documents that have been drawn up are legal and therefore binding.
In a civilized country, there are at least one or two witnesses, each of whom know at least one, if not both, of the individuals involved, who will attest that the word or the handshake between these individuals constitutes the agreement they've made and is to be trusted as a legally binding contract, at least to the best of their knowledge.
