		<description>Seems there was a morning show a while back that challenged listeners to a &quot;water drinking contest&quot; and a woman died after she drank two gallons of water, or something thereabouts.  My wife, the nurse, explained the chemistry behind what happens when you do that, but I forgot it four seconds later.  Suffice it to say the radio station nor the DJ&#039;s had any clue that would occur (let&#039;s hope anyway).

Does anyone know what happened in the resulting lawsuit?  If there was one filed?  I assume, since our nature is to blame everyone else for what happens...

This case above smacks of lack of sense to let it go to trial, but our system amazes me every day it seems.  It&#039;s not perfect, but we could at least TRY to perfect it...

Dundar, Nissan has several manufacturing facilities in the US that employ thousands of Americans.  And their suppliers employ thousands more domestically... I fought these sentiments frequently as Corp Mktg Mgr for a Toyota Industrial Equipment dealership.  Long ago, importers realized they could grow better by producing locally...and so the story goes.  Toyotas have more domestically produced parts than many &quot;American&quot; brands...</description>

		<description>Why would you enter a contest to win a Nissan anyway?  I can see entering a contest for an American built car, but a Nissan?</description>
