[Willie Green]

I think it's a "stain" on you for thinking that politics should ever be used as a mere tool for rewarding your friends, while punishing your enemies... To the point that laws like this penetrate down into everyday lives and everyday business affairs!

I think you stained your brain with some kind of hallucinogen.
I never advocated that politics be used to reward friends and punish enemies.
I stated very clearly up front on this thread that I prefer "truth in labeling".
If I purchase milk or cheese, I want it to be REAL milk or cheese. NOT some artificial crap masquerading as milk or cheese.

"I prefer "truth in labeling"

But Willie!!!

You are going, with nanny Fienstein and BIGGER government beyond "truth in labeling," WARNING as to what is a DANGER, all the way to labeling EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING!!!

Now we have to sort through further government induced confusion (and increasing expense), beyong warning labels into battling labels as to who gets a little competitive edge to the total exclusion of "caveat emptor," to say nothing of the total loss of common sense and true fairness!!!

You are paramountly concerned about "fairness," aren't you? Isn't that your most basic motivation? (although totally subjective, right?) Now you are complaining we need another layer of government to govern those we elect to govern, because they just can't seem to do what's right, no matter what! Right?

I can't remember whether you support "stop us before we sin again," campaign finance reform, or not. But it wouldn't surprise me if you did, based on the above love of redundant governance levels until we get to, "If I ruled the world..."
