We had hims peak at OSU law last year. He was here testifying against the awful tort reform bill the legislature passed. I thought he was mesmerizing, just wonderful. And yes, he talkeda bout some of those things.
I am sorry to see you joining in the pack baying against tort lawyers, which means plaintiff's laywers. Of course the defense tort bar and the unsurance lawyers do not love Ralph. Sure, a lot of plaintiffs' tort lawyers are sleazy. But what they do is help injured people recover from harm done to them, often by large corporations. Yeah, if we had national health we wouldn't have this problem. But tort reform anad damages caops are no substitute for national health. Ralph is is on the side of the angels, a real American hero. He has probably done as much for as many Americans as any living human being.
