**Dogface:** _The simple truth is that there are people who insist that all liberty be obliterated. Their mechanism for making this palatable is to do so under the guise of “protecting” people._

:rolleyes: Oh, nonsense. No doubt there exist a few evil conspirators of the sort you describe, but I really don’t think that the majority of people who support consumer warning labels about potentially harmful ingredients are out to “obliterate all liberty”. That line of argument won’t get you anywhere but laughed at.
