Lawrence, good post. The damage done to this country and its families is devastating. Many peoples' lives have been ruined. Suicides, deaths, increased crime and violence, illness, jobs lost, careers ruined, houses foreclosed, credit gone, you name it. I doubt that any of the big shots will go to jail. Unfortunately, this looks like delays will continue, despite good and appropriate rulings by a fine judge. I hope I am wrong and that we are truly near settlement, but never underestimate the stubbornness and denial on the other side. They didn't get where they are by caving, even when all evidence suggests that they should settle.
