I join in the majority opinion and all of its rationale except the dictum regarding a perception my colleagues share of unfairness and inconsistency on the part of the statutory law of this state. The only inconsistency or unfairness I can find is that the statutes given us by the Legislature and the Governor do not remedy all social ills and in particular not all losers are required to pay the outlays for attorney fees incurred by the winners. Unlike my colleagues I do not fervently wish that the statutory law be amended in this area and even if I did, I see no need to communicate such suggestions by way of dicta in the official advance sheets. Since neither any alleged unfairness nor inconsistency in the statutory scheme is before us I see no reason to comment thereon. *Page 105
