As a former native of the Magnolia State (I left for a lot of good reasons), I have a few comments and questions:
1. Its a shame what the lawyers and their bed fellows, the politicians of both parties have done to the legal system not only in MS but all across the U.S. They prey and feed on poor, ignorant people that have a sense of entitlement that "By God, somebody owes me something and I'm, going to get it". Now with Lott and his brother-in-law feeding at the same trough; don't look for things to improve soon.
2. Beyond tort reform that is certainly needed; when will the politicians begin work on a workable national health care insurance system that is desperately needed?
3. Finally, what about our biggest insurance crisis of all; insuring that Social Security, Medicare and our pension plans will be there when we need it?
Just a few vitally important questions that we'll probably never get answers to.
