I thought Texans were big on self-reliance and didn't like interfering in one's life, not to mention supporting those awful trial lawyers. Where did they find twelve good Texans to produce that verdict? <g> Merck is a bad actor in the Vioxx case. They withheld evidence of side effects and actually urged their sales people to cover up any issues, as I recall.
