Well, that's one reason I stopped going to 7-Eleven. The guy who worked there was always grabbing me, throwing me to the ground, sitting on me, and pouring those 64-ounce pops down my throat.
The litigation culminated in the 1998 settlement in which cigarette makers agreed to alter marketing practices, pay oodles to state governments (financed by hiking cigarette prices) and — not incidentally — fork over upward of $10 billion to the lawyers who had organized the suits.
Just a coincidence, I'm sure. I mean, even though these lawyers are motivated solely by the public interest and concern for our health, they still have to earn a living, right?
I think we need tort suits against tort attorneys. They're bad for everyone's health...driving up cost of products which causes everyone to work harder to buy the things they want.... causing stress... which ultimately breaks apart families....which truly hurts the children most...not to mention how it affects their mental health. Yup. Me thinks someone needs to take them to task. :)
Doesn't seem to me people consume the mass quantities of "the real thing" like they used to. It's not as good as it used to be, it's got too much sugar, and I think Diet Coke far outpasses it in sales. I think they're reaching with this one. Like attacking sugary cereals, apparently not realizing a child can pick up the sugar bowl and easily make up for any deficit incurred by law or parental decision.
Of course. His and hers Bentley GT's aren't exactly cheap, and how will the yacht crew get paid?;)
