I will, because I've lived abroad where consumer rights are a joke and I don't want us diluting our own rights just because some lawyers allegedly take it to an extreme even as those complaining peculiarly can't get political support to change the laws to favor them. I'm not saying the Trevor group's right, only that our system's the lesser of evils.

The lesser of evils is evil. You are supporting evil.

As for why tort reform has a hard time gaining traction: kindly note which class makes the laws. (Here's a hint: it's lawyers.) They are not willing to do anything that might threaten their livelihood, particularly after they get term-limited out.
