AS, One can find intelligent discussion on Tort reform in all of the business literature. Attributing all interest in Tort reform to one being a devotee of talk radio is most shallow.

The last reform issue was to simply put trials into federal court. Currently "victim" can go shopping for favorable locations that have made a cottage industry out of law. That is simply wrong.

Again I will use the example of asbestos as a prime example. Companies have been bankrupted - meaning workers have lost their jobs - not just pain for "evil" corporations. Sick people do not get care - it is all tied up in the courts. Common sense reform would fix that.

American Spirit, on the issue of tort reform you may find it interesting to read the first few pages of this article which reviews a study of tort reform. It's an eye opener and it refutes many of the insurance industry created myths of "tort reform."
