    How much proof does anyone need that the U.S. lost it’s phony War on Drugs before it even started? While the feds waste billions of our taxpayer’s badly inflation battered dollars chasing ghosts and locking up the small fish, the big fish always seem to skate.

    This case is no more outrageous because a Vet’s family is the victim,
    because it shouldn’t happen to anyone! What good is a law requiring a registry when the police say that only a small fraction of the labs ever come to their attention? It seems like the more effective law would require testing of each home before escrow closing, and allowing a buyer to back out of the deal if they choose to with a full refund of all costs. In this case we need to ask who owned the home before. Was it a bank repossession? Was there any reason to suspect illegal activity in that home? Just because the police didn’t arrest anyone at that address, doesn’t mean the neighbors didn’t either suspect or know about illegal activity.

    Insurers used to cover pollution risks under homeowners policies,
    probably because they figured they’d never have to pay out. Then the mold issue heated up, and attorneys educated insurers about what their pollution risk could be. Instead of states working to protect both sides with a reasonable compromise of for example a base limit of $10,000 with higher limits available for added cost,
    most states did nothing and allowed insurers to strip out all coverage other than a $5,000 base limit.

    Insurance is more of a necessity these days than an option, so what sense does it make for insurers to not find a way to provide consumers with the protection they need?
