really? good public policy for the betterment of all, in this age of terrorism, could dictate that the 4th amendment needs to be suspended so that all suspected terrorists and terrorist sympathizers homes, papers, bank accounts, and all other personal effects could be searched to ensure public safety. The 5th and 6th could be suspended, that way we could detain indefinitely all suspected terrorists and sympathizers to ensure public safety. The 1st could be suspended to ensure that rags like the NYtimes don't reveal classified information putting us all in grave danger.
I repeat, the constitution was created to PROTECT our rights against 'public policy'. why do you want to throw it away?

This is the most foolish thing i've ever read from you. Everybody is expendable, including you. It wouldn't matter to the company if it took 3 years or 13 years to train someone new. If it increases their immediate bottom line, they will drop you like bad habit.

or it could be that participation in their health care system is done at the relinquishing of their right to sue for damages?
