3M stock is under attack. They sell dust masks. Trial lawyers are lining up. Free enterprise is under attack. No industry is immune to this attack. Unless tort reform is enacted we will cripple our economy. The law is not an economic suicide pact.

Yep. I don't know about this asbestos thing. I think they have paid out about a half trillion dollars already. What they did was wrong, but enough is enough already.

``There are rumors that the president is going to discuss asbestos and talk about liability limitations,'' said Seth Tobias, a money manager for Circle T Partners, referring to President George W. Bush's State of the Union address on Tuesday. Tobias said that nearly 40 percent of the Dow Jones Industrial Average has asbestos exposure. Any suggestions? Dashle will probably fight this exemption tooth and nail. Anything to help crater the already taxed economy before the mid term elections. alan w
