Subject: Re: TWL: Shooting the messenger.
Clearly this thread has come unraveled, but I just gotta comment to
those who would say it is up to the population to change our culture in
order to control lawyers. In my home town of Mobile, Al, I am
bombarded constantly with ads on TV and in the paper asking if I have
mesothelioma, if I have been injured in a car wreck or off-shore, and
how much Morris Bart et al. can get me with no obligation etc, etc. Now
I have to think that there are a lot of folks out there who are either
desperate or ignorant, etc who are easy prey for this ilk. I don't see
them changing this culture. Whether this actually depicts the social
demographics of the plaintiffs or not, this argument is not a lot
different from saying that "BIG TOBACCO" needs to be cut down to size by
all of the parents whose teens are smoking, that "BIG OIL" should be
brought to heal by all of those SUV-driving mothers practicing a little
abstention, that Microsoft will knucke under if we just don't use
Windows, and I could go on and on. This issue, like most which offer
complication in our lives, is not black and white, is not of singular
responsibility, and perhaps most importantly, can't and probably should
not have its solution gestated here.
Not really fond of lawyersly yours,
Alan Yankie
