Howard Nations is an attorney from Texas. Texas, through the "mis-leadership" of George Bush and the Republicans, has passed tort reform measures that are bizarre. Listen to Howard explain how bartenders can get people drunk at the bar and bear virtually no responsibility if the drunk kills someone on the way home. After they got control of the Governor’s mansion and the legislature, the Republicans took over the courts to make sure their bad laws remained on the books. Listen and weep for a society gone greedy.
