I like your reasoning... the only reason I like it is because you have no political or social influence what-so-ever. It may interst you that insurance companies cover liability only..... if you are right, someone elses insurance company will cover the litigation costs. If you are wrong, your insurance carriers coverage will only cover liability..... if you are wrong, your integrity is called into question. If your integrity is questionable, people don't trust yo. If people don't trust you, they wont give you their money..... HELLOOOOO!!, is anyone home??
Yes, the consumer is benificiary when it comes to frivolous lawsuits..... companies need to pass ALL their costs down the line - is this some unknown secret? And yes, I firmly believe the Firestone tire debacle to be frivolous....... It is those people who lack basic doses of common sense who are first to blame someone else for their errors and omissions. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink..... similarly, you can admonish a motorist about his lack of maintenance and he/she will fail to mend his/her ways.
I spilled my coffee and, much to my surprise, it was hot........ ring any bells??

BTW, you gain much credibility if you lose the cutesy shit and get honest with the folks you want to listen to you.
