I remember the (I assume) liberal girl Public Defender (Mary Kay Place?) in The Big Chill when she lamented on how she got her legal degree to help the poor and downtrodden with their legal problems, but she always ended up representing scumbags who actually deserved to be in prison. The world just didn't fit her pre-dispositioned beliefs and she just didn't understand why. Such is the liberal mindset.
How true. My involvement with class action suits:
1. I received about ten $10 discount airline tickets for United Airlines. Don't even know what it was about, I just flew a lot with them at the time.
The tickets could only be used one for each booking on a FULL FARE ticket and expired in twelve months. Never used a single one.
2. Received a $10 check for some purchase I made back in the 1980's
3. Bought a stereo for my young daughter and the CD broke. About two years later I received notice I could have the thing fixed for free, including the shipping, or ask for $50. I took the $50 since I had already bought her a new stereo and junked the old one.
In none of these suits did I even realize I was a part of them nor was I ever asked to decline from the suit.
Most lawyers are scum.
