ideals you express in your eloquent reply, I suspect I'm not so charitable to the parties involved. Perhaps I'm being unfair to these women, but I am weary of protestations that it's not about the money. It never is, according to plaintiffs and their counsel. Therefore it almost always is, by Mookie's Theorum of Cynical Opposites™.

The points you make are valid. I fear we don't hear them because we are unfortunately accustomed to the venal being wrapped in a cloak of nobility.

Ah, mookie, you raise a vaild point. That's why I said "maybe" several times in the post. I fervently hope that they aren't out for the money, because that degrades the whole affair. I hope on some level that the people involved do themselves think about some more general issues. Alas, though, many people - on both sides of the issue - are indeed thinking of nothing but the money.

And btw, good thing you trademarked, "Mookie's Theorum of Cynical Opposites" - otherwise I'd steal it
