Nope AlGore, Kerry, Edwards, Dean, Teddy, and Hilary say only people... ahhh
Americans.... well... non Demoncrats are responsible for all the pollution
that has ever existed and every climactic change that has ever occurred.

Al Sharpton says it was all the doing of the 'white man' and the 'Blue eyed
devils.'

I am unsure why they is reluctant to give the exact name of the person that
causes the Ice Ages on a regular basis or just exactly who it was that
hunted down (with his Jeep) and killed (with a legally registered and
licensed handgun) the last of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.

No, I don't think we do. Even better we have this revolutionary system where
if you fail , you are responsible for paying both your own legal costs and
the party you were suing. This is an incredibly good way of stopping
frivolous lawsuits as you can be rather out of pocket if don't succeed.

Lon, I didn't what to use the first word that came to mind out of
respect for you folks and the fact that this is a family group, the word
that I did use fit the circumstances.

As to what Mr. Lockyear can really do... well how about a nice long
vacation in the mountains of Pakistan or Afghanistan and he can tell the
Islamofascists that they shouldn't be playing with assault weapons, I'm
sure they will give him a very warm reception.

Re: California sues Ford, General Motors, Chrysler, Toyota, Honda and Nissan for emissions
 
We have that rule in Colorado, but you have to prove that your opponent
filed a frivolous claim or defense in order to invoke it. In practice most
litigants will offer to settle once you demonstrate to them, that they are
unlikely to win. And when you get to that point, then you are expected to
offer them a chance to back out. There are rules like this at the Federal
level too, but most lawyers and even pro se litigants know when to give up a
losing case before having to pay penalties. Judges tend to take a dim view
of overly aggressive plaintiffs and defendants too.

The trouble with tort reform is that there is always someone with a
legitimate beef, and you can't prevent that person from complaining, if you
want to maintain some semblance of human rights in your system. The bad
side to this is that if you want to harass people with frivolous claims,
then there is little that can be done in a fair system to stop you.

That's urban poverty, not pollution. :-)

If you ask Sean, it was probably a lemur that was a direct descendant of
Bill Clinton.

On second thought, he probably wouldn't say that....that would legitimize
evolution.

Re: California sues Ford, General Motors, Chrysler, Toyota, Honda and Nissan for emissions
 
Lee Iacocca's book "Talking Straight" speaks to the litigous society we live
in (and it was written something like 20 years ago...) the problem in
America is twofold:

(1) The civil court system makes it easy to sue anyone for anything, without
disregard for the facts or the truth. Unlike other countries (Brazil is one,
IIRC) where if you sue and lose, not only do you pay for your attorney, you
pay for the defendant's attorney, so you better be absolutely sure you have
a case before your file suit.

(2) The explosion of attorneys in the last 35-40 years have resulted in an
increase in the total number of lawsuits because they all gotta eat. You
didn't see lawyer adverts until the mid-to-late 80's, now they're
everywhere. As the old story goes, there was a small town with one lawyer
who was starving. Then another lawyer moved to town, and they both got rich.

I live in California, and I think this suit should be thrown out without
predjudice. The automakers are compelled to build cars to federal standards,
or to state standards if those standards exist and are more stringent than
the feds require. For many years we had 49-state and California Cars. Calif
cars had different requirements that the feds eventually adopted, or the car
makers simply built to the Calif standard to simplify production. Either
way, all USA cars are now built to the same standard, and that standard grew
out of California rules.

California can't come around now and say, you built cars to the standard we
demanded, but they still pollute so we're gonna sue.
