Second Circuit Rejects Class Certification in "Light" Tobacco Litigation -- Consumer Law & Policy Blog:

Light cigarettes provoking purchase do to percieved health improvements is not worthy enough for class-action status apparently:

‘Last Thursday, the Second Circuit issued McLaughlin v. American Tobacco Company, No. 06-4666 (2d Cir. Apr. 3, 2008), reversing Judge Jack Weinstein’s certification of a class including virtually all Americans who had purchased cigarettes labeled as “light” or “lights.”’

“Government, what is it but a tradition, though a recent one, endeavoring to transmit itself unimpaired to posterity, but each instance losing its integrity; it has not the vitality and force of a single living man. Law never made man a
whit more just; and by means of their respect for it, even the well disposed are daily made agents of injustice.”

“These fine folks don’t get (or get but have strategically decided to suspend knowledge) that surfer Obama has been appointed by the ruling class to ride and contain the wave of popular anger and euphoria over Cheney-Bush and their imminent passing. He is a perfectly qualified agent of repressive de-sublimation: a “JFK in sepia” (Michael Hureaux) to bamboozle the masses and reinvigorate and the empire at home and abroad.”

Initial Reaction: Price Changes Leads to Weight Change

Possible Conclusions:

Markets will not work towards consumer health? Definitely
Markets are capable of eliminating the need for government? It’s a slight stretch but mostly correct.

“It will, in any case, put us in the volatile position of the alcoholic engaged in the experiment of drinking, always searching for the penultimate rather than the ultimate drink. The penultimate drink is a limit of relative deterritorialisation (you change, but you don’t leave), whereas the threshold is the ultimate drink that will make the alcoholic change assemblage altogether, progressing into a hospital assemblage or a suicide assemblage. The penultimate drink will enable him to keep on drinking, living, moving, loving, while the ultimate drink is the end.”

“Say what you will about the Colombian military, but they sure know how to spend [their] tax dollars. While the United States can’t manage to avoid zillions of civilian casualties in Iraq, the Colombians have the technology to bomb a foreign country, kill everybody on their target list, and still manage to preserve an enemy laptop. A very special laptop. You see this laptop belonged to Raul Reyes, the FARC’s now-dead #1 foreign policy guy who had been negotiating hostage releases with Venezuela, France, Switzerland and Spain. Apparently Reyes stored inside it the very evidence to support every harebrained conspiracy theory that the Colombian government would like the world to know about. And they are all true, because the Colombian secret police would never lie.”
