I didn't say that, or even allude to it. In a perfect world, sure. This isn't. As such, I'll realistically move to acceptance of a MINIMUM of regulation. I'll take this as another of your "I can't specifically address the points you made, so I'll just dismiss it by vastly exaggerating what you said" posts. That's OK. You've proved several times in this thread that's "how you roll".

It's be nice, but there's a reason the word "Utopia" was chosen for the "perfect place".

Already addressed previously. See my previous comments about the necessity of an independent "review" as Private industry (or the FDA itself for that matter) may not be sufficently independent to perform their role.

As you said, no shit, Sherlock. IMO, largely because of folks who encourage a mindset of abdicating personal responsibility because they don't have the time, or are too lazy.

If I found one, why would I fu*k it up by inviting a busybody like you? You'd just come in and start pushing for the same crap.

Busybody?

Dude, you have NO idea who am or how "active" I am but you'd probably be surprised to learn that at heart, I am a Libertarian.

But thanks for engaging in this conversation.

Except when it inconveniences you. Got it.

Whatever.

Just because you choose to ignore or fail to recognize the widespread public health risks involved with public smoking (and its long term effect to the economy, specifically health care) doesn't mean that we all should.

For the record, I ignore them.
