Okay, I think it is very clear that, on the whole, major corporations with the funds to hire numerous attorneys and prolong court cases mete out far more injustices than do consumers. To think otherwise strikes me as naive ... or do you have a financial interest in BMW (or another major company)? Oh, and btw, before you think otherwise, I am all for tort reform that limits liability in certain cases, but I am also for consumers having fair access to / representation in the adjudication of cases in which they would otherwise be at the merciless machine that is consumerism and cost/benefit analysis.
