Q: When is a Disclosure Not a Disclosure?

Posted By Cliff Tuttle | November 23, 2010

No. 531

A: When it is too long.

Once upon a time, not that long ago, a group people with good intentions decided that the best way to insure that other people made good choices was to give them information — lots and lots of information.  Today, those other people don’t seem to be doing much better than they did when they were uninformed.  Except for one thing:  if they decided to sue somebody, they would have to contend with the fact that they were given all of the information they needed.  They just didn’t read it.

Confused?  Read the attached short link from Above the Law.

That’s why we have blogs:  to explain what’s in the disclosure
