"This is the only country where companies can be sued for selling legal products." Yes and isn't that a great thing? If the government can't protect us then at least we can protect ourselves. It's what makes America great. Prohibition doesn't work but we have legal remedies when we are poisoned by a legal product used in the way it is recommended by people who know the consequences of that use. I love your libertarian streak, Brian, but you are trivializing it with this issue.

OT I'm glad to see you don't smoke. I'm curious about people's rights. You probably don't allow smoking in your car, right? But it's O. K. for a smoker to go off by himself and do it where he's not bothering anybody, right? I suppose it's also a smoker's right to subject people who love him to the abject grief they feel while they watch him slowly drown in his own blood while his heart beats fiercely trying to supply oxygen to his ice cold fingers and toes. I suppose so. After all, we've all got our rights, don't we?
