No doubt McDonald's made the same "mistake" that the rest of humanity did - believing that our legal system and litigious society could not possibly be so far out of whack as to take something like that seriously. Take a look at the proliferation of even-MORE-bizarre lawsuits, if proof is needed how far the pendulum has swung......and they all owe a debt of gratitude to the success the McDonald's suit had, making such astions mainstream rather than fringe. Oh, by the way - "meteorite". ;-) Gregory -------------------------------1068410808 Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <HTML><HEAD> <META charset=3DUTF-8 http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; charse= t=3Dutf-8"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 6.00.2800.1264" name=3DGENERATOR></HEAD> <BODY style=3D"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fffff= f"> <DIV> <DIV> <DIV> <A href=3D"mailto:francisgraham_at_rocketmail.com">francisgraham@roc= ketmail.com</A> writes:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style=3D"PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: blue=20= 2px solid"><FONT face=3DArial> McD refused to negotiate with the lady t= hat<BR>won that lawsuit, even early on, when her lawyer asked<BR>for little.= </FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV> <DIV>No doubt McDonald's made the same "mistake" that the rest of human= ity did - believing that our legal system and litigiou= s society could not <EM>possibly </EM>be so far out of whack as to take= something like that seriously. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Take a look at the proliferation of even-MORE-bizarre lawsuits, if proo= f is needed how far the pendulum has swung......and they all owe a debt= of gratitude to the success the McDonald's suit had, making such astions ma= instream rather than fringe.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Oh, by the way - "meteorite". ;-)</DIV></= DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT lang=3D0 face=3DArial size=3D2 FAMILY=3D"SANSSERIF" PTSIZE=3D"10"= ></FONT><FONT lang=3D0 face=3DArial FAMILY=3D"SANSSERIF" PTSIZE=3D"12"></FON= T><FONT face=3D"Comic Sans MS"><FONT size=3D3><FONT color=3D#ff0000><FONT la= ng=3D0 FAMILY=3D"SCRIPT" PTSIZE=3D"12">Gregory</FONT><FONT lang=3D0 FAMILY= =3D"SANSSERIF" PTSIZE=3D"10"> </FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTM= L> -------------------------------1068410808-- Received on Sun 09 Nov 2003 03:46:48 PM PST |
