[ExI] Political Relativism (was very informative)

[William Flynn Wallace]

May I assume that you don't think civil tort liability (from which
regulation is often a shield) could adequately address negative
externalities?  anton
I don't know enough about it to respond.  I don't know what the shield
means.  I do know that an individual has a very difficult time suing a big
corporation, which can fille motions and keep the case in the court for
years, and most people can't afford to pay a lawyer to keep up with that.
 They need some pro bono lawyer group to take their case and those are
limited.   bill w
