What I am blaming is the system of disclosure....there's another word I can't think of it right now... but we need a system to find out what the facts of these matters are and not an indentured cover up. > I will tell you something conservatives do support is tort reform and the > LOSER pays system.

Well, here's the genesis of the problem; say as an example that you were in the car accident and were injured and that wasn't your fault, but some idiot tells you "shit happens" and to forget about it. Well, that's what I got from one person here, and he happens to be a conservative. > I know I will be upset and blame YOU if the price of my delicious bagels and > bread from Panera goes up (yet again).

Good luck proving the > link between the colitis and the spinach. Eating raw vegetables *is* > considered to be a colitis trigger. Good luck my friend. Panera is not at fault IMO. And as I pointed out previously; I don't think I can prove a link between E.coli and colitis, so try to keep up with what I'm saying. Eating raw vegetables is *not* considered a colitis trigger...eating contaminated ones with feces on it that causes E.coli infection is. That said, the spinach producers were found negligent in a court of law and have had to pay million$ to hundreds of people as a result of that negligence. I doubt any of the victims had left-over spinach they ate to have independently tested. But some were able to prove to a jury that they had indeed suffered as a result of the companies negligence. My question is; why all spinach recalled was not tested as to it's location of sale to find out who may have consumed it? It is not impossible to do. I'm not talking about testing every leaf, but a representative sample from each location. If the capitalist system wants to be responsible, then they need to do the responsible things instead of denying everything and paying lawyers to discredit real victims of their negligence. Put the true cost of doing business on companies and not government protection, or government having to pay for these things in health care costs...surely conservatives are all for that...well, real conservatives and not most of the phony ones here anyway. -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
