The victim angle is that the illegal driver should turn over all assets and future income to the victim until suitable compensation is achieved. If the victim doesn't survive, then to their estate or to the government in the absence of an estate or next of kin. If they can't come up with money, their kidneys and other organs are normally valuable. There you are, victims addressed.

Oh exactly like blood money in Islam... now that's progressive not :o(

I'd rather be alive or have my family alive thx.. Money is like sand.. comes and goes ... I can always get some... it is no consolation.. we certainly have some different values...

Worth mentioning.....

>>>> These days, inattention is the most common cause of crashes now [in NZ]. Boredom is the problem.

2000 year old virtuous Eastern texts bereft of questionable Victorian values define boredom as the inability of the human mind to pay attention.

The mind is the problem. Boredom is a condition.

Regarding Haroun the Upright and Rightly guided ..... he was the Caliph of Bagdhad circa 780 AD. Being upright contributed to his great success, and being rightly guided may have helped when his aim was bad. His successor, Iqbal the Pendulous was beset with one failure after another, though the vacant hours enabled him to invent the first clock with dubious-looking gongs for chimes.

Every day, Qualcomm's broadband "opportunity" in India is looking more and more like a Vesper reincarnation. It's hard to believe that they will come out of it any better than if they had just let Intel spend another two or so billion pushing WiMax. Spending the money one makes in good markets at the height of its boom isn't any better than fulling discounting one's offerings during the j-part of your growth curve. Moving money around in such a manner is nothing but an unannounced shell game. In bailing early, it looks like Ambani (like Carlos Slim) is the one to come out the other side for the better.

I never realized that the funding of the Bharti spinoff by the India gov't was facilitated by the big boyz and now Morgan Stanley and a reformed Standard Chartered are stepping up in a shoring up role. The world of capital flow does mostly revolve within repetitive circles with different names, locations and economic needs but not much else. Almost all longterm value creation is syphoned off via ongoing repetitive in and out transactions. It is so silly to believe anything otherwise.
