Most of us have been in the position of doing something just out of principle. We didn’t gain anything in particular, nor would we have been harmed had we not done whatever it was. We simply chose to pursue a particular action because principle dictated it. Believe it or not, judgment collection sometimes comes to that.

And in every one of those states, we have encountered judgment creditors pursuing their debtors out of necessity. They are not pursuing ...
