Re: More Details on the Carlos Osorio Tablesaw Lawsuit

Football helmets cost substantially more today because lawyers decided that players, even though assuming the risk of playing football could cause injuries, would be a possible win when put to trial if a player was injured - AND THEY WERE RIGHT. Cessna aircraft corporation stopped producing airplanes for several years when the cost of manufacturer's liability insurance became so exhorbitant because juries kept awarding hugh awards to families whose loved ones were stupid enough to run out of gas even though the planes had gas guages and warning lights.

Why don't we quit making cars because someone might get drunk and run into a tree; why don't we quit having babies because they might grow up, go skiing and get hurt when they run off the side of the slope? Should we put guard rails down all of the slopes, covered in rubber, with large wind turbines to blow them gently back on course. Come on people, we need to take responsibility for ourselves, set limits on court awards, and have judges who can judge and juries that have brains.

Re: Montreal "Bunker" Workshop

One of the best ideas I've seen. About the same size as my workshop but looks substantially more organized. This must have cost a fortune to build.
