<why shouldn't it regulate drugs so that a 35 MG tablet actually has 35 MG in it and not 350 MG?> Geode, I think the active ingredient is what people would be interested in. If there's a bunch of filler making it 500 grams, but the good part is only 35 mg, there's no need to report the rest of it, though a seller might choose to do so. I don't really care how many grams of packaging is around a dozen eggs. I want to know how much egg I'm getting. <Not everyone is always working for money. That's a real failing of the 'capitalism is great' theory. People do things even when they're not paid very well or at all. People > I don't think the "capitalism is great" theory suggests that people always, or mostly, work only for money. Where did you get that idea? Mothers do a lot of good work and while they do get half their husband's money that's not the main issue. I'm working right now, educating, but am not paid. Heck, I won't even get fulsome appreciation. In fact, I quit! Mqurice PS: Before I resign, <There's no 'real' reason to pay for anything collectively including defense, infrastructure, government, law enforcement or anything else. We could choose to be Afghanistan and live by the rule of the gun.> The USA is run by the rule of the gun. Police carry guns for that very purpose. Step out of line and it's hands up, and sometimes just blasting [by Air Marshals]. Same in the UK where "kinda terrorist looking" is a death sentence. But I know you mean anarchic. Having Libertarianism doesn't mean anarchic. You have obviously misunderstood the ideas. libertarianz.org.nz
