Normally I reserve my biggest darts for the Big Brother Democrats who think the answer to everything is more money and more government (as long as they're in charge). But this time BOTH sides deserve a big red F.
There is more thoughtful debate and consideration in this blog than in all of congress. Since there is no limit to how much damage can be done, I am reluctant to limit how much can be compensated. But why should punies go to one person or lawyer when they are ostensibly to protect society? Why can doctors, et.al., cross state lines and hide from their own past? Why can't the courts suspend the license in extreme cases forcing the bad apples to plead for reinstatement. Why is gross repeated negligence treated the same as simple negligence except as a multiplier of money? Why aren't the licensing boards bar & medical) more responsible to the consuming public instead of looking like the fox that guards the hen house?
Our "leaders" on both sides will continue to fail in this & everything else until there is much more democratic "small d" thought and accountability.
