[rant]That's the weird part of this case to me. McDs was not in a position to judge her competence to handle a hot cup of coffee (of course they'd be sued for descrimination if they refused to serve anyone). However, the driver of the car who ordered and handed the coffee to her and allowed her to put the coffee in her lap rather than in a cup holder (if available) would seem to carry most of the blame... Knowing the way our society has turned from individual responsibility, McDs law dept should have prevented the whole thing by making them sell cool coffee in the first place. Who at the Arches made the final call on coffee temp? If McDs is liable (big if) then the individual who made the call is responsible, but its not about responsibility, its about money. Well, at least Jonathon Edwards will never be POTUS.[/rant]
