By all means sue, but if you haven't personally been damaged, and are doing it 'for the good of the children, oh please, won't somebody think of the CHILDREN!' then, any monetary award should go straight to charity.
(starts up 'underage gambling anonymouse' charity and looks for donations.)
I still maintain these sue cases, where there's no reason for the sue claimant to get any cash, if found guilty, the defendant should do some kind of community service, instead of paying out cash.
Take away the financial incentives, and you lose the frivolous and money grabbing cases, and the genuine ones still lead to people being punished but at the same time putting something back into the community, and whats more, taking people's free time hurts people equally.
A $80 fine? No CEO is gonna give a damn, but it's going to really hurt someone on welfare, to the point where they'll probably end up skipping meals.
Make both those people pick litter for 8 hours each Saturday for a month, however, and they both give something back to society, and both feel like they've been punished for their crime.
I still can't believe that 1% of Americans are in prison.
BTW, there's a great documentary on BBC iPlayer for the brits at the moment, Louis Theroux at San Quentin jail, it's kind of an eye opener to all those newspaper reports that prisons are 'holiday camps'.
