American-Manifesto.com In Defense of American Exceptionalism

I can across this in the explanatory comments of the Second Restatement of Torts Law.  Restatements are documents produced by the American Legal Institute to describe the current state of laws in certain areas.  This comment is in an area on the subject of outrageous conduct relating to the intentional infliction of emotional distress.

The rough edges of our society are still in need of a good deal of filing down, and in the meantime plaintiffs must necessarily be expected and required to be hardened to a certain amount of rough language, and to occasional acts that are definitely inconsiderate and unkind.

And why, exactly, do lawyers feel entitled to file down the rough edges of society?  Freedom requires rough edges.  Anything less is a managed society not a free society.
