10 Sep 2003 Greed, Lawsuits and Some 9/11 Families

It is about families of some 9/11 victims suing because the payments American taxpayers generously offered to them (but not to other American victims of terrorist attacks) aren’t big enough.

I almost didn’t post this recommendation because I’m still steamed about an awful piece Easterbrook wrote about those of us who drive SUVs in the January New Republic. However, this blog essay is just too good for me not to recommend it.
