Now this seems a little more reasonable.

Judge Now Only Wants $54 Million From Dry Cleaners for Lost Pants
Wednesday, June 06, 2007


WASHINGTON — A judge who was seeking $67 million from a dry cleaners that lost his pants has loosened the belt on his lawsuit. Now, he's asking for only $54 million, according to a May 30 court filing in D.C. Superior Court.

Roy L. Pearson, a District of Columbia administrative law judge, first sued Custom Cleaners over a pair of pants that went missing two years ago. He was seeking about $65 million under the D.C. consumer protection act and almost $2 million in common law claims.


He is now focusing his claims on signs in the shop that have since been removed. The suit alleges that Jin Nam Chung, Soo Chung and Ki Chung committed fraud and misled consumers with signs that claimed "Satisfaction Guaranteed" and "Same Day Service."

But Chris Manning, the Chungs' attorney, says that can be considered fraud only if the signs misled a "reasonable" person. No reasonable person, he says, would interpret them to be an unconditional promise of satisfaction.


Pearson, who is representing himself, said in an e-mail that the focus of the case, from the start, was based on the "false, misleading and fraudulent advertisements displayed by the Chungs."

This dude should get shot, honestly!

As health care system is primarily about $$$ and not health care,
the legal system is all primarily about $$$ and not about justice,
(TV) religionism is primarily about $$$ and not about spirituality and God.

A culture is really, really sick, perverted when every thought is really a $thought. This will bring violent reactions from, especially $Americans, who have been programmed, hypnotized to "believe" that the overwhelming value of life is $$$, that EVERY human transaction, interaction is to be expressed through, mediated primarily by $$$.

Well boutons, the only solution for you is to
immigrate to Cuba. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ only work
in the nightclub/hotel area. They have great health
care, well except for Castro, he imports his from Spain,
and everyone is equally poor. And maybe you can
borrow a computer to post from a tourist.

Or he can just wait till the dollar devaluates and then we'll all be equally poor too, but you still won't have health-care, even the 39th ranked health-care system in the world despite spending billions more annually than any other nation.

Yeah 39!

Priorities change when you aren't thinking of food all day, the family can wait, because many people are having kids late in life because of longer life expectancies, and you arn't afraid of being mauled by a bear or foreign invader...

Maybe Bork could file a brief.
