How can we, as a country and a people, advance on the world stage in
anything, when our system rewards people whether they be a lawyer on
their own or a person that hired a lawyer, or the government wanting to
take whatever they want from the citizens. We often hear from the linux
group refer to the newest programs as "bleeding edge". How long before
they are afraid of being sued and stop working on new software?

If you develop something and it doesnt work, you get sued for tens if
not hundreds of millions of dollars. If a drug company makes a new drug
that cures millions and .05% of the recipients develop complications
from taking the drug, by all accounts thats a goo d thing. But, the
small percentage that has problems will cause the drug company to stop
making that drug. And the vast majority suffer. And, the majority that
have good results have to pay hundreds of times more for the drug
because it doesnt work for everything for everybody.

I used to employ 74 people in a multimillion dollar company. After being
targeted by lawyers and the IRS, and spending 4 years in court, I let
everyone of them go and now work from home on my computer, by myself.

How many other businesses have gone the way of mine- its too much
trouble to stay in business. I have bonafide ideas for inventions that
will help out and be profitable. However, my plans are to develop these
outside the US and let them be imported. Just like the chinese bearings.
If we use the chinese bearings and we crash, I doubt we would be
successful in a lawsuit against the bearing manufacturer.

I would venture to guess that you guys have experienced the same things
that I have- when you go to the parts store, do you tell them the parts
will be for an airplane? Have you been told yet that they wont sell them
to you if they are? I have. Our legal system has taken the American
Spirit away.

Its not just Obama, its all of it. And it only took us 200 years to
screw it up.
