Larry Jaques explaines:

Liberals tell the rest of us to ante up to "fix" things which should
be covered by personal integrity/responsibility or rung up as
accidents by the less intelligent or irresponsible parties.

But most corporations don't show "personal integrity/responsibility" so
have no motivation, other than the pressure of law. And I can agree
there are such things as "accidents" or even "Acts of God". Now can
YOU agree there are such things as "criminal negligence" or is
everything always just an "unfortunate mistake"?

Google on "aol" and "me, too". And, yes, they're different. Racism is
not EVEN in the same league as newbie humor. (Hate vs. grins)

Actually the comment was "color of my skin" not about "Racism",
although I've seen people apply their brand of "humor" to the color of
peoples skin as well. However my post concerned, not racism, but a
predisposeure to making judgments based on superficial features rather
than facts).

I'll even bet that if they had charged Pinto owners their labor costs
for the retrofit (I think we made $8-10 on the installation.) that it
would have been a winning move. But that didn't happen due to the
legal climate. Owning up to something brings on the ambulance
chasers in mega-droves.

The legal climate? So you're saying if the legal climate had been
different they would not have fried all those poor people? THAT is the
EXACT reason we need laws to protect people. On the other hand you
feel protective measures were not taken because, what (?), it might
cost them some money? And so, because it might cost them some money,
admitting THEIR screw-up, this somehow justifies these poor innocent
people getting killed?
Call them "ambulance chasers" if you wish, but without attorneys who
work on contingencies there would be NO justice in a court of law for
many. If it wasn't for these companies pulling **** like this you'd
see a lot less lawyers looking for this kind of work. Same deal as the
unions. Without work conditions being as bad as they were it's
doubtful unions could have gotten where they were in such a short
period of time.
