   I agree that $1.3M is far too much...   
      
   Somehow I trust a jury more than three Canadian judges.  I have a hard   
   time getting over that.  So what we are saying is a jury matters not,   
   and if the government doesn't like a jury decision then the government   
   is free to just toss out the decision?   
      
   May I suggest we are not as free as we think.  We really are just tax sheep.

   Seems like paying your bills with real money is no longer the accepted   
   behavior in USA.  Perhaps that is the problem and not the the solution.
