Only one comment (since I don’t want a moderation mishap :))
I would argue, and be thrilled if you could prove me wrong, we have no right to health-care either.
Vancouver sun news, ian mulgrew wrote a story yesterdays edition, regarding the costs of jury trials and how the courts have said they are just fine. His description for them was rapacious. I agree. I felt I should comment. on this site you will see comments from someone clearly a lawyer, named nick, once again telling the public they need to get lawyers if they want to access justice, And the juries cost money because the judge has to take so much of his highly qualified time, to explain the tricky issue of the law to people with no experience . it seems we cannot get a break from this mantra. it is everywhere. comments?
