Never did tell their customers, though, that it was addicting.

Hence, the current laws against it.

So any product that is misrepresented to its purchasers should be banned? I'd prefer the liberty-respecting approach of simply requiring truth in advertising.

You mean like the Yugo? Well, I suppose so.

"I'd prefer the liberty-respecting approach of simply requiring truth in advertising."

I see you've changed your caveat emptor position. Now it's suddenly a caveat venditor one? Whatever helps makes your current point, I guess.

You'd require truth in advertising? With what as a penalty -- prison? death?
