[meteorite-list] Fwd: Lorton meteorite should be 'the people's rock'

[George Blahun Jr]

Bob:
      You make a good point, but I think liability laws, which vary state to state are pretty complex.  Hopefully, as you suggested  some actual legal opinion will be offered.  I had a business law professor in college say that the law looks for someone to pay regardless of whether a person is actually responsible.  It may not win in court, but I'll bet the legal argument for someone being hit by a meteorite in a doctor's office would be something like, there is an implied guarantee of safety when entering the building.
