#2 The State of OK sought $17B.

The State's case was built on their anticipated plan to recover from the crises despite evidence that they (the State) had spent very little to date.

IMO, the State of OK was probably more deceitful in this than JnJ was in their advertising.

#6 This version of justice makes one think of Miss Prism's comment in Importance of Being Earnest:

Miss Prism: Do not speak slightingly of the three-volume novel, Cecily. I wrote one myself in earlier days.

Cecily: Did you really, Miss Prism? How wonderfully clever you are! I hope it did not end happily? I don't like novels that end happily. They depress me so much.

Miss Prism: The good ended happily, and the bad unhappily. That is what fiction means.”
