If you want to fix the problem of meritless lawsuits, be my guest. My concern with this legislation is that it has nothing to do with merit, and everything to do with our petty fears, petty fears which have an undeniable racial overtone. That is exactly the environment where laws get passed that will make our children ashamed of us, the way we are ashamed of our parents for the WWII internment camps or McCarthyism. Dude, the argument is about racism. How can we talk about racism without talking about it? Are you seriously going to claim that there is no racism toward Arabs as a race, or bigotry toward Muslims as a group, in this forum? Do you really want me to start digging up posts? Martin
