SOUNDING BOARD is an outlet for opinions on good and crazy things going on at home (wherever I may be). All are welcome. You are not expected to bring anything except your common sense & sense of humor.
'If the automobile had followed the same development cycle as the computer, a Rolls-Royce would today cost $100, get one million miles to the gallon, and explode once a year, killing everyone inside.'

This preposterous case (and the decision) on Philip Morris vs. whateverhernameis managed to make me utter "OMG"! US$ 28 billion is such a huge amount, but that's not my point. Unless the tobacco company did not put in visible warning labels when she was just starting to smoke, then it should have no liability. This reminds me of the McDonalds coffee case, although I must admit that the coffee case is less preposterous than this tobacco case.
