    So wait, J&J have already put aside 9 billion dollars for potential liability for the talc baby powder cancer claims and have stopped selling talc baby powder in North America, but yet they are suing researchers who made the issue known and constantly parroting that they aren’t admitting any wrongdoing. Nice.

JJ would be quite liable if they even get a single detail intentionally wrong. I would tend to believe they released accurate details.

            ?? You believe a corporation by default is releasing accurate details in the context of clearing themselves of wrong doing?

            That’s every corporation’s first step no matter how incredibly obvious that they are wrong.

    We desperately, above all other issues, need to resolve the fact that big companies can win in court simply by paying until the other guy can’t afford to keep dealing with the legal system.

      In the Soviet Union, capital punishment was carried out by various methods, including firing squads, hanging, and later, the use of a single gunshot to the back of the head. These methods were employed for different periods throughout the Soviet Union’s history, depending on the prevailing laws and policies.
