264. Yep straight from the WSJ too
Edited on Thu Jun-11-09 08:11 AM by one-eyed fat man
You still haven't answered, do you think that the strategy of "sue them into bankruptcy' is one that you espouse for industries you don't like?

The fact that it was reported on a right wing website or published in the Wall Street Journal doesn't make it untrue. Andrew Cuomo most certainly said that when they started after Smith and Wesson and they also threatened to withhold Federal Law Enforcement sales. You may recall the British firm that owned S&W at that time very shortly divested itself of the company. Colt Industries, not long after, sold off the parent division, Colt Firearms. If nothing, both those moves made the pockets Bloomberg and the boys want to raid a lot less deep.

And you also described yourself, "In fact, I'm expressly NOT a law-abiding citizen when it comes to civil disobedience."

Is that not espousing breaking the law to achieve some result you deem more worthy? Sounds like "the end justifies the means" there.

Suppose, a drunk, driving on the wrong side of an Interstate, hits an overloaded, poorly maintained, gasoline-powered former school bus being used as a church bus. The bus bursts into flame on impact and the difficulties encountered by the victims attempting to evacuate the crowded bus quickly in the smoke and darkness through an aisle blocked by coolers and baggage in reaching the rear emergency door, result in the death of 27 people and injuries to 34 of 67 passengers on the 44 passenger bus. Six passengers escaped without significant injury.

Who should be sued, who should pay, and whose fault is it?
