Stlhead,
I agree again that they do some good things but these are still things that should be done by our elected officials. If the elected officials dont do it then they should be voted out and others in. The "do gooders" often go way overboard and abuse the system as bad as the "fat cats" do. Lastly, the tax payer always foots the bill. Any large lawsuit verdict gets past right on to higher prices we pay. The only people who benefit are those on the winning end of the suit.......not the public. They use up the court time that we pay for and whatever they get comes out of the publics pockets(directly often but if not, then indirectly).
