“40 years ago this case – as many others reported on this terrific board – would have been unthinkable, and the decision would have been widely condemned as scandalously wrong.”

40 yrs ago attorneys were not necessarily so greedy. No wait, that would take 4000 years right?

But hey they too need to make a living right? Just desire to be rich and electable within 10 yrs is all.

If there exists an industry that needs a clas action suit brought against it, the pharkin legal industry stands atop any other claims!

End result: cheap smoke detectors (and other products less than top of the line in their market) stop being marketed, and more people die from not having smoke detectors at all.

That’s our current system at work. Hurray for bureaucracy, bad laws, and selfish lawyers.

40 years ago this case – as many others reported on this terrific board – would have been unthinkable, and the decision would have been widely condemned as scandalously wrong.

Today, it’s ho-hum, another day. The worst part is not that it has come to this. The worst part is that so many people accept it as normal.

Does anyone really wonder why the Radical Islamicists believe that all they have to is nudge us a little, and we will topple over?
