Sta-Rite most definitely was negligent, and knowlingly so. Read the book.


Read the book. Read non-WSJ-like accounts of the trial.


And as for having no use for lawyers - as a nation of laws we depend on them. As a capitalist economy, with a government charged in making sure that the natural market forces and capitalist venture doesn't step on the innate rights and protections of the little guy - it is the lawyer that has traditionally been the way to safetly and equality and protection. As in John Edwards entire law career.

I am not a lawyer, but I am very appreciative of them.

Don't fall for the sleazy ambulance chaser stereotype...that's a cartoon figure. The trade is made up of serious people, many with the public interest as their purpose.

If you don't know anything about Edwards law career, and I'm sorry to say that I can already tell that you don't, you should find out some things before you trash him.

And you should consider what our country would be like without lawyers, especially these days.
