On a recent trip down to the US, I got quite disgusted by the amount of law firm TV ads soliciting potential "clients" to a class action lawsuit against the pharmaceutical companies like Merck, Pfizer, etc. What they do is tell people that they're entitled to a settlement given some vague circumstances and to call them for more info. It's disgusting to see how low these law firms can get. Wasn't it not too long ago when some other class action lawsuit was filed about the older Palms with their "defective" batteries and how people lost important data when they've completely drained their battery?

In the end, it's the lawyers that gain from these lawsuits, not the consumer.

I hope to never ever need a lawyer.
