those people responsible are NOT PENALIZED in the Civil Suit...they don't pay out of THEIR pockets...and have no jail time...and have no incentive not to do the same thing next week.
Again, your point is very well taken. It is just the best we have to work with. These guys should be fired a the least, jailed at best. Having officers personally liable is a mixed bag IMHO, for the reasons mentioned in my last post.
Cordially,

I'm really sorry. It seems that I have set a hostile tone for our discussion; that wan not my intent.
This is sort of a hot button for me. My apology for my unsociable tone.

No offense taken, re: hostile tone.

I have no tolerance for the activity of lawyers who seek to appropriate money from others for their enrichment, purely taking advantage of ANYONE's misfortune. Sadly, in the growing number of cases in Civil Actions, it's ALWAYS the Consumer and/or the TAXPAYER who fund this assault. Big Tobacco, Big Corporations, and Big Government are the substantial targets. If only people would realize that the government has no money, and it's YOUR TAXDOLLARS that come from YOUR EARNINGS that are being appropriated.

Just as no action was taken on Tort Reform, and the grand-daddy of them being "Class Action Lawsuits", we pay more for goods, services, taxes, etc. as a result. From Car Insurance to Medical Insurance premiums, to the warning-label-extravaganza we have today, they all have roots in Civil Lawsuits driving the costs up.
