Ian,
You wrote, "It is not the hookworm’s “fault” that the patient is anemic; where adequate sanitation is absent, parasites flourish. We can despise the hookworm as vicious and horrid, but that is a useless exercise; better to close the sewers, and put shoes on our children. Trial lawyers are what they are; we need to control them by removing their access to prey."
Now, I don't get angry often, but what you wrote has really riled me. I have heard the plaintiffs' bar compared to sharks, barracudas, vampires, leeches, but NEVER to hookworms ("helminth nematode parasites Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale" !!!)
Ian, I'm a tell you this once more, I did not have sex with that Lewinsky woman, er, no--
(crooking my finger), Ian, I'm a tell you this once more, don't you EVER compare the plaintiffs' bar to violent animals or parasites ever again. It is not fair and it is very, very hurtful.
Violent animals and parasites ARE, after all, God's creatures and serve a useful purpose in maintaining our world, and I will not have you insulting them on my thread. They are deserving of at least a modicum of respect.
