i'm sure many of you heard about that woman who got something like 250 mil from a lawsuit against a drug company. an article i was reading said that about 90% of that number was punitive damages, besides the fact that that seems fairly high, does anyone think that punitive damages should be donated/used for some sort of local/foreign aid? the company's getting punished wherever the money goes, and i'm not sure that little old lady needs all of it.
