God, wouldn't you want him to pass that legislation - and then slip powdered asbestos into the White House air-conditioning?
I mean - well, obviously we wouldn't, because that would be bad and evil and likely to attract Secret Service attention. But you can imagine some bad, evil person totally unconnected to anyone reading this blog who might think it was poetical justice.

Oh, I won't get started here. My dad died from mesothelioma. What was left after lawyers fees from the class action suit is all my stepmom got to raise their 2 kids with, and they certainly aren't living the high life.

My uncle passed away Christmas Eve 2003, probably from asbestos-related complications. All snark aside, the "frivolous claim" shit related to asbestos lawsuits, done specifically for the benefit of companies like Halliburton (who purchased asbestos liability from Dresser Industries), represents a new low for this piece of shit Administration, if such a thing was possible.

Diana and norbizness, see if you can get a letter into the paper with your experiences. People could not argue with the John Edwards case of the little girl in the pool because it humanized the trial lawyer and their needed protection against corporations.
We just need to have a rush of personalized letters to remind people of how specifically indifferent corporation can impact lives.
People ignore the theoretical but pay attention to the personal.
