  motor,
  
  "governemnt" at it's best!
  
  There are laws, regulations, and information to control everything we do, yet we all break or ignore many of them daily. A free people don't take kindly to being told what to do.
  
  I believe morality trumps law and regulation every time. Almost daily I see someone that needs a good ass kickin', but it isn't a law that prevents me from "helping" them out. It's morality.

  How about the FDA just stay out of our food. They've fucked up the food pyramid and requirements before and will fuck up again.
  
  Maybe if the corn and soy lobbies didn't get so much funding, we wouldn't have to worry about this shit. We have more soy and high fructose corn syrup in our food than ever before. The government is fucking us both ways-They fund the farming of this shit then they want to warn us or keep us from eating/drinking it. What the fuck?

  Sort of like tobacco. The try their damnedest to get everyone to quit smoking, then scream bloody murder that they are loosing all the tax revenues. Just plain and simple, STUPID!

  Yup. I once heard(don't know if it's true) that the tobacco lobbyists and the anti-tobacco lobbyists are in the same building in DC.

  Gee! It's not a ban. It's labeling. It gives you information so you can make an informed decision.

  True enough, but then, we're just taking cigarette ads off of TV...
  
  
  
  Same story, incrementalism.

  shark,
  
  I sincerely hope there will be! However, I want it to be a peaceful one. Best way, via the proverbial ballot box, while we still have a chance.
