What ever happened to taking personal responsibility for our actions? I sincerely empathasize with anyone who has been injured by a power tool. I have, too! - My bad! However, sueing a manufacturer for our own negligence only increases the cost of tools to the rest of us. What ever happened to holding Corporate Officers accountable for fisical responsibility. When I attended law courses in the 70's, the policies were "buyer beware" (the buyer accepts responsibility when he/she purchases a product) and "fisically responsible" (Corporate Officers who cheat the stock holders and the consumers go to jail). Today, the courts assume the average American is an idiot that needs to be protected, and Corporate Officers (and elected Government Officials) are so crooked that they have a right to steal and go unpunished. What a reversal of values.
