You're missing the point of torte reform.  It is OK for corporations to
file suits against individuals and less powerful entities;  it is
"frivolous" for individuals to file suits against corporations,  they
should know their place.

Nah, they'd just be more selective.  They'd sue the elderly or
single-parents who don't have the time or energy to mount a defense, or
the less educated (this guy could read and understand legal briefs).

I'd like a simple law: If a publicly traded corporation wants to file a
suit against an individual it has to pay the courts a $1,000,000 service
fee which is not to be counted in any recoverable court/legal fees.
