[StBernard] Your right to choose

[Westley Annis]

 Concerning lawyers and Murphy. Everyone seems to have been angered by 8
months of half-a$$ development. 

Questions which plague us and recovery include: Is this legal to force-feed
what is dumped in our bowl? Why isn't Judge V. getting involved to
orchestrate the matter. After all, the good of the populace supercedes all
because it was the litigants that were affected/had inflicted damaged. This
egregious offense, though unprecented in our community, should be taken into
consideration by a judge who has the gumption to instruct lawyers that
lawsuits do not/should not run what has since become a "bad movie played
out". Multiple wrongs cannot right justice, that which is deserved by the
afflicted people of this 2nd disaster. Opt out, stay in, pay the greedy with
impunity, oil or not oil tested,...

..it's getting to be a 3-ring circus with little recourse to resolving that
deepened sick-of-the-stomach feeling and concensus that life sucks when the
wrong people get the right calls..

Ok, now I have heard it all, i was told that if you settle with Murphy you
now have to pay a class action lawyer 7% of what murphy will settle with you
for because said lawyers are mad because sooo many are opting out of
law-suit.  It seems that said lawyer has again taken away our right to
choose.  First by making everyone automatically a part of the class action,
and now if you choose to opt out, you still have to pay them 7% of what you
get.   All the papers I keep receiving from the class action lawyers offices
all state that it is being done for the citizens of the parish, well when
citizens of the parish choose not to be part of the class action and still
must pay part of their money, how is it being done for the parish citizens.
Always considered this a free country with everyone having the right to
choose, now seems that one can lose those rights without ever talking to
anyone.  
 
I do pose a question to any class action lawyer that may be reading this.
Everyone pretty much nows what is being offered by Murphy if you test
positive, however I have never heard what the class action lawyers are
trying to offer everyone.  I know the all might dollars draws alot of
attention for people, so the lawyers have to understand do you settle for a
sure thing or do you take the gamble and maybe get a little bit from the law
suit.       
 
Thanks for letting me vent.  Keep up the good work Westley.
