Do you think the U.S. is becoming more litigious? One often hears about cases on the news that seem completely frivolous.

I do think that the US is becoming more litigious, but not because of friviolous lawsuits, but because people are more aware of their rights.
As far as frivolous lawsuits go, for some of them, if you see all the facts, they cease to be frivolous. The most famous frivolous lawsuit was the Spilt McDonald's coffee case. However, in that case it was found that 1) Mcdonalds kept their coffee at 175-180 degrees F while coffee is servable at 135-140 degrees F; 2) McDonald's had been sued over 700 times before in the previous 10 years over coffee burns;and 3) The woman who got burned was opening the lid of her coffee to add cream & sugar, She was in a parked car (not driving as it is sometimes stated), & She suffered third degree burns on her thighs & groin areas requiring a hospital stay of 8 days.
The huge punative damages (which were later greatly reduced) actually were only 2 day coffee proceeds for McDonalds.

(Hope the Super Law Firm of Space is not closed for summer vacation!)
While I have no desire to curtail individual liberties, I would like to take the appropriate measures to limit axe-hurling to specified, clearly marked zones of Legion World. These axes flying hither and thither are dangerous! In fact, I believe Stoopid Cat's tail is 2 inches shorter than it was a week ago - although that's his legal problem.

How could I proceed? Money is no object.
Well instead of prohibiting barbarians outright, you might have a weapons check, in which all weapons are surrendered at the door (you could also make it a magical check in which all weapons are magically shifted to another uninhabited dimention while the customer is in the cafe). Also, you are free to bar individuals if they have a history of being disruptive or causing damage.

Within Legion World itself, you could have certain areas re-zoned as Axe-hurling free zones. As long as there are areas in which axes may be hurled, this would not be considered discriminatory or an unconstitutional curtailment (as opposed to a de-tailment for cats) of individual liberties.

Maybe his secret Manx heritage is finally asserting itself.

When you have a few minutes, please review the "Making Triplicate Girl (Triad, whatever) More Effective" thread in The Legion forum. I would appreciate any insights you would care to share.
