Tom and all, While you raise a good point, I believe this tide is slooooowly beginning to turn. The attitudes of America didn't get the way they are now (really screwed up) overnight, and correction will happen the same way. It is high time that (not so) common sense prevail again, mainly in our Courts. Just wait, I bet the family of this turkey in California ends-up suing El Al because their security guard shot him.
