    Class Action suits have their place - when a company action impacts a large number of people - where the individuals have notenough strength to separately take on the large budget corporation or agency - it can level the playing field. To stop all those suits based on executive preference is wrong.

    This WM ruling could be a real blow to liberty -while I understand the stated and hidden reasons for WM's claim - because if a corporation allows or implements a SYSTEMATIC PATTERN of activity, forced separation of lawsuits (and the likely denial of including one suit as evidence in another) would severely weaken the people's ability to police super-large organizations.

    On the other hand, if WM can PROVE that certain of the cases do not fall into the "pattern" or are in some way not applicable, then certainly they can be removed. Examine each one side by side.
