Occasionally, to make it appear as though the law is equally applied, one of America's elite blue bloods gets nailed, i.e., Skillings is gonna' be really, really old when he gets outa' jail. What should be the rule is unfortunately the exception.

Tell my friend who broke his neck or the other one dying of cancer or the other 1000 who have died waiting for them to make it right that it's corporate law. It's corporate greed. They're already crying the victim and will probably try to appeal this one too.

stam River Nutrients Registered: 11/03/04 Posts: 3548 Loc: Taking the "fifth" on this one	The only thing that would surprise me about this is if anyone was to be surprised by this. Maybe bush can secure his place in history by stepping in and granting a pardon to one of the companies that sponsors his presidency $\:\($ _________________________ I'm only going to try steelheading once......I'm not going to be like that guy. http://community.webshots.com/user/stamtma?vhost=community model citizen, zero discipline
