<DIV>My statement carried with it an assumed destinction between sensible
legislation backed by research and statistical fact, and frivilous legislation
that can't be enforced. I am all for seat belts, food quality
standards, and smoke detectors and things of that sort, but laws
requiring warning lables stating that you shouldn't use acid as a salad
dressing or stop an industrial fan with your tongue are just silly to me. They
cost companies money, cost consumers money, and only help a very small
percent of the population, that probably shouldn't be handling acid
anyway.<BR><BR><B><I>John Ferrell <johnferrell@earthlink.net></I></B>

<DIV>Del, I'm with you 100%. I get concerned anytime legislators try
to protect otherwise intelligent people with stupid, cumbersome, and often
unenforceable laws. It helps me cope with it to realize that it is partly
our (the masses) fault that they make these laws. People are just too
litigious! Anytime you need a warning on drain cleaner that says do not
use as a party mixer, things are out of hand. But the first alcoholic that
mixes it with rubbing alcahol to get a buzz will be filing a lawsuit
saying there should have been a warning on the label.<BR><BR><B><I>Del

after reading the group of posts with reference to have to change to
metal cans by one distributor due to a fire. Instead of addressing who
and why the fire was allowed to start in first place they also go after
what helped contribute to a bigger fire. Next the will legislate no fire
allowed when the wind is blowing as that causes bigger fires. Just
Kidding about legislating wind but the officials looking out for the
