What purpose does steam cleaning rocks accomplish?
You can write a book on money being pissed away by do-gooders working on 'remediation'.
Punitive damages were set up to discourage out right fraud. I remember the triple damage case against General Electric and Westinghouse for price fixing. ... Let's deal with disasters and get on with life. 43,000 people making claims in one parish for Katrina aid who never lived there isn't right.
I don't claim the Valdez was the right place to impose punitive damages, but solving the problem by capping punitive damages as a low multiple of economic damages cripples their purpose when they really are needed. And there are places they are needed.
Let's hear it for the Supremes! I'm going to take my new Springfield Compact .45 cal out and shoot up the first box of shells in their honor.
Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

I'm glad the Supremes got the Second Amendment right, or I'd have to take an eraser to my copy of the Bill of Rights again, and that always sucks. Just remember: celebratory shooting into the air could still violate local ordinances!
Take care,
