Gary,

Good post. The argument presented is clear and logical. The plaintiffs arguments are dramaticised emotionalism. This nation is no longer inhabited by proponents of individual freedoms. Rather, it has become a nation of victims.

Next, we'll have class-action lawsuits against the automobile companies because their drivers sometime cause accidents. Throw in the alcohol companies and coffee companies, etc., for good measure. Such cases will be easier to win because those industries have not been legislated (forced) to conspicuously post warning labels stating the obvious.

Should the Tabacco companies prevail in the Florida case, the alleged "victims" should be forced thereafter to wear a label across their forehead stating the following:

"Warning, the Surgeon General has determined that this individual has been shown to be unable to accept responsibility for his own actions and he is particularly prone to litigious actions that may be hazardous to your wealth. Do not sell ANYTHING to him."
