This, to me, is another of those "its not my fault" incidents. Why is it that individual responsibility has so fallen asunder? -- James Leo Ryan --- Austin, Texas --- taliesinsoft(a)me.com

I wasn't aware that, at the time, McD's hot coffee was routinely considerably hotter than that of other fast food joints, that they had gotten numerous complaints about the temperature, that other people had already been burned, albeit less severely, and so on.
