But lawyers will sue for just about anything.

You have to consider the merits of the lawsuits
before drawing a conclusion.

The problem with many proposals for tort reform is that they tend to
insulate corporations from customers when the corporations really do
something bad.

I'm shocked, SHOCKED, to learn that lobbyists write laws to favor
their clients rather than the little guy!

LOL. I doubt if the OP (not quoted here) is old enough to get that funny

Indeed. I recognised it as a reference, but have just had to think a bit
to remember where from, but I remembered eventually, which is
reassuring. ("Your winnings, sir.") I wonder - yes, found it:

Have you ever heard about a petition, disagreed with it, but been frustrated
that there's no way you can *show* that you disagree? If so, have a look at
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/232770 - and please pass it on if you
agree, especially to twitter, facebook, gransnet/mumsnet, or any such forum.

happen in mine? - Bernie Winters quoted by Barry Cryer, RT 2013/11/30-12/6

That movie is, IMHO, one of the major arguments against relying
exclusively on streaming. I have the DVD and have watched it probably
ten times in the last fifteen years. Every time I see something new.
It blows my mind that the people involved had no idea they were doing
something special -- to them it was just that week's product.

By the way, there's an excellent book, /Round up the Usual Suspects/,
about the making of the movie. Frex, Bergman didn't know when she
recorded her last big scene whether her character would end up with
Rick or Victor Laszlo; that's why she played it to allow either
ending.

And in case anyone doesn't know, the film is /Casablanca/. If you
haven't seen it, do so tonight. (I still remember seeing it for the
first time, on a double bill with /The Maltese Falcon/. It doesn't
get better than that.)

Weeell ... I think _some_ of them knew it was pro-war (oversimplifying -
but in favour of America getting involved, which I think it hadn't
decided to be at that point). But yes, some of them would indeed have
jut been doing this week's job. (And some of them - such as the lighting
cameraman - doing it excellently, to the extent of it not having been
bettered since.)

I saw, I think it was, a fiftieth anniversary showing, at the Empire,
Leicester Square. The projectionist let the film flap through to the
end; it (not because of that) got a standing ovation, which felt rather
surreal.

No sense being pessimistic. It wouldn't work anyway.
