...the trial lawyer who dreamt up the tobacco lawsuits... JB is the head of a new troubling movement that believes there is no such thing as PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY! At a debate in Washington, D.C. he said before hundreds of disbelievers that personal responsibility was "crap!"

JB has begun cultivating the next cash crop for the trial lawyers: fast food.

At stake is not only the abrogation of personal responsibility, but also the future of the $115 billion fast-food industry -- and perhaps the entire food industry. A potential flood of obesity-related lawsuits could cost the restaurant industry hundreds of millions of dollars, legal experts say. Industry executives say that could result in job losses and restaurant closings.

And this is just the beginning. [continued]

I want to see this go ahead, and all the murderers and such appeal on the basis that they can't be held responsible for their actions.
