In the case of that woman who killed a man while driving high on narcotic painkillers, you will note that the lawyer sued all seven pharmacies that had ever filled prescriptions for her, not just the pharmacy that supplied the particular pills that she had taken that day. Had he just sued the one pharmacy, that would have been an example of suing a deep-pocketed bystander. But he must have decided that seven deep pocketed bystanders is seven times more lucrative for him than one.

Heh heh. I married a blogger’s son who I met through commenting on his (the blogger’s) blog. Obviously material for a romantic comedy. Okay, maybe not. 🙂

(Hi, I’m a regular reader, even though I never comment. LOVE this blog!)
