A solution would be to raise the price of menu items by 15% and give the servers higher wages. This would lead to you not having to tip, but you would likely receive worse service. Since the wages are guaranteed, the servers don't have incentive to give you better service. They get their money no matter what. By keeping the system as is, you get some control over it, but the server also gets some control by deciding how good he/she wants to be.
You absolutely have the right not to tip, but when you return to that restaurant and wonder why your service is crappy, it's because servers talk. Good and bad customers are talked about all the time and pointed out. If you don't like society's rules, stay home. It's cheaper anyways.
I'm all for not giving a good tip if the service is bad. If the service is awful, I won't tip. A tip is a reward for good service and should be earned. I also hate when people won't tip because the kitchen screwed up. If it isn't the server's fault, why would you hurt them?

There's a couple of people here who missed this joke. Forget the tipping dilemma, the real travesty is that you haven't seen this movie.
