As a practical matter if everything has warning labels people start ignoring the labels. Warning labels are another one of my hobby horses. I get so annoyed with, say, a label on a hair dryer that says something like don't use when you're in the bath tub. Of course, now we all know the problem with dropping a plugged in appliance into water, but the label never tells us the why. So if you want to sit in an empty bathtub while you dry your hair because it has a comfy seat, you're left without that option. A label might say not to use the product when the temperature is greater than 85 degrees. Well, what will happen? Maybe nothing but the paint flaking off, which you might not care about. Labels are stupid. End of rant. I agree with you on the tone of the opposition to this nomination. Next thing you know they'll outlaw McDonald's selling any coffee but iced coffee. Karen
