[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard it reported on the radio that his dad is in the Kansas State Legislature. Can you say "lawsuit"![/quote]

It was elected official day at the park, elected officials were allowed in the park at no cost. Why does this translate into a lawsuit?[/quote]

Please--there will probably be a lawsuit b/c a kid died a horrible death regardless of parents' professions.[/quote]

Not much good in Kansas.  They have a $250,000 cap on non-economic damages.

The slide was built in Kansas because Kansas is the only state that didn't have regulations to prohibit it.

I know it's wrong, because a child just died, but I wonder how the father feels about tort reform and deregulation of industry now?[/quote]

Yes, it's wrong, you creep.[/quote]

Call it creepy, but there's one political party hellbent on dismantling regulations and this is precisely the sort of tragedy they're meant to prevent.[/quote]

There is a time and place for politics. This is not that time.  Please --please -- seek therapy.[/quote]

Therapy? Seriously? For bringing up the point that regulations can help prevent this sort of tragedy? Wow.[/quote]

Everyone knows that regulations can help prevent safety problems.[/b]  That's an obvious point.  Injecting politics into this tragedy is what is so very bizarre.[/quote]

The Kansas Republican party would not agree with that statement.  They would say that regulations hamper innovation and don't make anyone safer.  Caleb's father is a member of the Kansas Republican party.

Karma is a bitch.[/quote]
