Re: What are they thinking? said by firewire9999: they have the Public Relations and/or Lawyers writing the TOS now? Lawyers always wrote the TOS. Just a byproduct of our sue-happy society and the fact that there are too many law schools pumping out too many lawyers.

| I am no defender of Lawyers or Comcast. However, your comment about lawsuits and lawyers does require some clarification. First, corporations file far more lawsuits than individuals. So, if sue happy refers to companies suing each other and their customers (a very strange policy but all too common), then you are correct. If you are referring to consumers suing companies, then you are following the Insurance industry line. Please do some research on both sides of this issue and you will find that there is ample evidence that it is companies that are sue happy and not consumers.
Yes, law schools do produce far too many lawyers. The result however is not as bad as one might expect. I do not have current statistics, but I believe that close to 50% of law school graduates are practicing law after five years. So, it is the law students (and their parents in many cases) who pay the price for too many lawyers.

Just as there are too many B schools "pumping" out too many MBAs and generating too many marketing morons and white collar CEO criminals. |

Really? You don't see the connection.
Just think about it a minute, I'm sure you'll figure it out.

| No really, why don't you explain it to us? Unless you are confused and actually think political science actually has anything to do with politics? |
