					<description><![CDATA[Like most issues, this one is a tension b/t your perception of &quot;too many frivilous lawsuits&quot; - and my perception that insurance companies stick it to consumers day-in-and-day-out.

Which is true? Of course, the answer is both. Even one frivilous lawsuit is too many. Even one crooked insurance company, or corporation grinding a person into the dirt is too many.

Please remember that intelligent reform is welcomed by all intelligent attorneys.

I balk at arbitrary damage caps - that punish only the most badly injured. I balk at &quot;reform&quot; that has no basis in fact - and that inspires no reduction in insurance rates. I balk at &quot;reform&quot; that is hateful and inspired to further line corporate pockets at the expense of the injured.

Call me a liberal if you must. I just have this crazy notion that human suffering has value. I think it should be avoided. I think that  anyone causing human suffering it should be held fully accountable.

Thank you for the chance to vent.
