Cessna years of manufacture?

No, longer. As in "forever." Heck, there's a move afoot to penalize some
(non-aviation) US companies for their actions over 150 years ago...

Heck, the country is still being sued by American Indians and African
Americans for actions taken by our ancestors centuries ago.

Liability - the gift that keeps on giving.

Imagine if John Edwards becomes president. Think businesses are leaving
in droves now, just wait.

Well, to point out the obvious and nitpick.....

As President, he'd have less control over that than he currently does in
the Senate now. (Not that I'd want him to be President. But of all the
problems having a trial lawyer (who potentially used *ahem* questionable
"science" in his cases) as President - that's not one I'm concerned
about.)

Three words: Tort reform veto.

One of my students, a retired prosecutor, said that public defenders often
became the toughest judges. They knew that most of what the defense does is
BS. Perhaps it is not a foregone conclusion that Edwards would be pro trial
lobby. He might know too much to fall for their crap.

Edwards wasn't a public defender. He wasn't even really a defense lawyer.
