 == 'Sorry to interrupt '==  
 .,,but this last exchange got my dander up again.  Dali, listen up.  You seem okay (basically sane, sober, clean-shaven, etc), but you're completely and totally nuts.  Why are you even having a conversation with these beautiful, amazing, flawlessly reasoned people? After all, isn't it clear that the TTP,  since it was contracted by insurers, is hopelessly biased (as opposed to trial attorneys and their consultants, who have no vested financial interest in tort reform whatsoever, and therefore are free to quote studies as they please?) 

 A slice of advice, my friend - this arguement is completely absurd.  With a straight face, they are arguing that civil trial lawyers and their fundraisers don't have any financial interest in enforcing strict caps on punitive damages and contingent fees, then in the next breath, say that insurers and their countless minions do.   

 (Actually I don't know if they have a straight face.  They may be giggling psychotically.  In a bathtub full of tobbacco money.) 

 The point is, at least one has already admitted to being a trial lawyer, and therefore probably has more money then 6 rooms full of me and you.  She argues for a living, and will argue, inanely and illogically, forever.  Her condescension is emblematic of why we need tort reform.  Trial lawyers have forgotten that all citizens in a free society create law.  They just practice it.  So stop being so sycophantic and start kicking some tail, buddy.  A mildy special third grader could dissect the nonsense about ""factoring in the value of life"" (of course its an editorial comment Molly - are you even SERIOUS?)   

 Now watch this magic trick.  I'm serious watch...  In about forty-five seconds, what I just wrote is going to be interrupted at least four times, and will include howling appeals to censor me, claims that I'm  a Republican operative or a child and sat least one sentence with a subtext of I know much more about everything than you.  It's they're livelyhood their fighting for.  I get it - even respect it - but this is why you must stop sitting on the fence and fight.  Love, Jarod "
