You gotta just love the editor of Model Railroad News, who responded to a comment made re: Dilapidated Freight Service, under Comments on Union Pacific, in the Dec. 2005 issue, page7. Now, this is a person who has our legal system figured to a T. His/her response to Union Pacific's greedy/grubbing legal action against toy importers/manufacturers is: "Well, Jim, it's all legal mumbo-jumbo. The way the system is set up, anybody can sue anyone else for anything. It doesn't have to make sense or even be legal. If you don't fight it, the complainant wins by default. So you hire a lawyer who files papers and has coffee with the other side's lawyers. He sends you a bill for his services. The complainant's lawyers bill him for their services. At last, when all possible delays have been exhausted and all billable hours have been milked, a judge finally issues a decision. Whoever loses then files an appeal and the process starts all over again." "Seven years later and a half million in legal fees, you find that Solomon split the baby in half again. Technically, you won but you don't get anything. You had to sell your house to pay his lawyer, unless he's the size of Union Pacific, in which case, he doesn't care how it came out. All of the lawyers get new houses and the judge gets a new boat."
What editorial courage! I think I'll subscibe to this publication. They also do a good job at including S issues and products.
