You didn't say that choice was generally good., you gave it an absolute good by answering simply yes. In the vanity realm of choices, people can now choose whether or not to use botox; kills the nerve endings in the facial tissue to remove wrinkles. Liposuction, 1/10,000 will die from a lipsuction procedure. An article from southern CA hit the news here, it's now a high school graduation present of choice to have breast implants [it took over the previous choice of car for a graduation present]. All new choices. All good? I can't recall the brand names, but there was a manufacturer of an auto that produces it for their own line and sells it to another manufacturer who sells it under it's own brand. The two cars are identical except for the brand logo, yet one sells for $1-2,000 more than the other. The one that sells for a higher price sells more by volume. We have choice! We have a myriad of choices for cigarettes. You might say that we have the choice to kill ourselves by smoking or not and that's good. Doesn't Drano having 4 products [3 that are ineffective] suggest that Drano loses some economy of scale and consequently has higher prices than they would otherwise. I suppose if I wanted to put a huge amount of effort into it, I could list what you call "exceptions" until my keyboard wore out. And it wouldn't do much more than wear my keyboard out. jttmab
