My column for the Daily News is online. It’s called, “Let’s be reasonable.” Here’s the sentence that should get your attention:

Such a shift in the balance of power between from the consumer to business is too risky for the consumer, but it also sets the stage to hurt business even worse.

Then, instead of individual grievances being afforded the rigorous due process of the court system, arbitrary remedies contrived by fickle legislators will be imposed irrespective of guilt.
