You better get it right!
 
Upset with the weatherman because he said it wasn't going to rain, and you got caught in a deluge without your umbrella? If we follow Italy's example, you can make him pay for that one!
 
An Italian court convicted seven scientists of manslaughter for failing to predict the earthquake that killed more than 300 people in the central part of the country in 2009. The indictment alleged "inexact, incomplete and contradictory information." They were sentenced to six years in prison. Wonder if we could indict all the political pollsters for "inexact, incomplete and contradictory information"?
