How about if you shut the **** up, give your money to charity (read muslim terrorist support groups), and let the rest of us decide what we do with ours. |

I don't know if that standard requires lamination though. I doubt there is such a requirement anywhere on the planet. If ford had used laminated side glass there would be a lawsuit from the family of a drunk who drove his vehicle into lake and drowned. The lawyers would argue if Ford had used tempered glass that the drunk could have broken a window and then escaped. That the drunk would be alive with tempered glass. Daniel would then chime in about how horrible ford is. |

He said punitive damages, in regards to lawsuits, not speeding tickets. I would agree with your point. I would even go for a law that requires the money to go to the next higher level of government. Local cops write tickets where the money goes to the county, county to the state, and state to the feds. |

Why would stopping frivolous lawsuits be stealing, and from you of all people? On the contrary, if frivolous lawsuits are eradicated, goods are going to become cheaper, services are going to be more affordable and we wouldn't be bombarded with a legion of stupid 'do not light your clothing on fire, because injury or death may result' stickers.
