Thank you for your courageous article regarding tort deform. I am amazed by the logic of the Chamber of Commerce- that individuals should be held fully accountable for their actions, but the logic of tort deform demands the opposite - please don't hold a business or doctor fully accountable for what it or she did.

Perhaps the Chamber of Commerce should remember that the part of the business of our citizens is to remain healthy and alive and our citizens' business of remaining healthy and alive is far more important than any company's engaging in negligent conduct which injures our citizens.
