A comment on Chamber of Commerce Uses Scare Tactics

J. Benjamin — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 10:30:57 GMT

You might have missed the news, but Arlen Specter has switched parties and the legislation therefore in question was introduced by a Democrat, not a Republican.

Also, I realize you may find it helpful to ascribe scare tactics to the Chamber, but I thought I should point out that the title in question ("Terror by Trial Lawyer") comes from a Wall Street Journal column (More ... ) rather than the Chamber itself.

I hope you were simply misinformed in writing this post, rather than intentionally trying to paint a false picture of what's going on.

A comment on What Should Be Done to Curb Jaywalking?

Dan McDermott — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 12:34:51 GMT

One would hope that the police would use a little common sense and discretion. I often cross the street between crosswalks as I'm traveling along it, if there is a break in the traffic.

Is it better that I should wait until I get to the crosswalk, then probably cause several cars to stop so I can cross?

I've yet to be cited, but I sort of hope that I am, so I can go to court and humiliate the police officer for being a complete idiot. Hmms. a reasonable person would not think the citation reasonable; I wonder if that might be sufficient to overcome qualified immunity sue the cop as an individual?

Very good point. For all the time that notice pleading has existed and now suddenly due to a very broad reading of a specific case there is a problem that they all want to hide behind. Nothing but the long standing status quo is being asked for.

A comment on Profit Over Safety -- A $20 Decision

Wow, $20 dollars, it is so little and could save so many. One of those things that people shouldn't even have to think about. Make the changes, fix the product and make it safe. Most of all save lives.

A comment on Number of Yaz and Yasmin Lawsuits Growing

The history of chemical birth control is, with no exaggeration, littered with the bodies of women: in the late 50's/early 1960's the first pill ENOVID, (developed by Gregory Pincus, funded by Margaret Sanger, tested on poor Puerto Ricans!) caused blood clots that killed or maimed thousands of women in the first years of its use. Recently, the New York Times termed it a "massive overdose" -- 10 times the dose needed to suppress ovulation! FIFTY YEARS LATER, Yaz. When will we women learn to honor our bodies? To shine a light on about our cyclic fertility instead of suppressing it? To be free IN our womanly fertility, not from it? To know WHEN we are fertile and when not? Our own power is in self-control, NOT birth control.

SUE THEM AND HELP US WOMEN... In December of 2007 I weighed 125 lbs. - looked and felt great. I started taking Yaz and within the 4 months that I took it I gained 20-25 lbs.

I am a certified personal trainer and former bodybuilder and fitness competitor, I tried over and over to lose the weight and I was having the hardest time getting my body to change.

I had my thyroid tested, hormones, etc. - - Just 8 weeks ago my massage therapist was working on me and he kept hitting certain spots and so I asked him what that related to within my body and he kept saying "Gallbladder"

So he suggested and I concurred, and did a 6 day gallbladder cleanse. AMEN!!! My body has been changing dramatically.

Then I come across information that Yaz is being sued for Gallbladder issues - AND many other issues too.

This really is beyond upsetting. We have been used like guinea pigs!! This product is obviously not safe and obviously has major complications and many various side effects depending upon the individual woman.

I pray for this woman that had a stroke and for the other women to get justice for the rest of us!!

I THANK GOD THAT MY MASSAGE THERAPIST WAS THERE TO GIVE ME GUIDANCE AND HELP ME SAVE MY OWN LIFE!

Who knows what would have happened and what was happening to my body with that pill in my system.

GOD SPEED FOR ALL THE WOMAN WHO HAVE BEEN HARMED BY THIS PRODUCT!!

It has taken me almost 2 full years to see my body change!!! So for those women that have taken it and gained weight - - consider a gallbladder cleanse - THANK GOD it worked for me!!!

GOD BLESS US ALL!!!

A comment on Gov. Crist Supports Texting Ban This Legislative Session

John Fischer — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 11:42:30 GMT

Those figures are vastly under reported. The reason is that there is no specific line item on the attending officer's clipboard. Police officer's attention is devoted to A) making sure medical attention is provided for the injured. B) cleaning up the accident and getting traffic flow back in intact, and C) recording the accident. Don't forget most people are NOT going to simply volunteer the information that a cell phone caused the distraction.

A comment on Officials Find "Total Collapse" of Care at Local Assisted Living Facility

Jan Boswell — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 09:13:57 GMT

I have reviewed many nursing home records. It is imperative that family members not only check out the facility but stay active in their care. Ask questions about medications, test, procedures, etc. Be involved and stay involved.

A comment on FDA Warns About Pain Pumps -- Manufacturers Knew

Mike Bryant — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 22:09:46 GMT

The sense of injustice when these items that are meant to heal are lied about, untested and mislabeled. The lack of responsibility , in the name of helping people is criminal. Hopefully, these kind of defenses and excuses will not be tolerated.
