My friend Ken has proposed that the US stop creating and placing warning labels on any and all items, indicating that no only could we weed out the weakest links, but we could save a bundle on our car insurance a fraction of our ridiculous government spending issue.
Today, I’d sign that petition in a heartbeat.
Cranky? Me? Never.

Of course, then our insurance would sky rocket taking care of the weakest link. Hence the real reason warning labels are on everything. Do you think they really care about our health?

Allow me to close the loop on my Social Darwnisim platform. Maigh captured the essence… “Remove ALL product safety labels, thereby strengthing the average IQ in the gene pool thru natural selection.” That is straightforward enough.
The second piece is that we would do away with regualtory agencies repsonsible for said safety labels, repeal tort law (or cap tort liability) which would free up the court system of frivilous tort law suits and limit insurance company liability. Imagine the massive economic benefit and tax savings that this would bring.
It seems a bit harsh at first but when you REALLY think about it, who really reads the damn things anyway?
And why should we be burdened with the social costs (i.e. taxes) for the people dumb enough to use a chain saws one handed?
And do you REALLY want those people to procreate and have a continued dilutive effect on the gene pool?

Keep the ingredients listings the! I’ve been working to take all NutraSweet out of my diet, you’d be amazed how many normal things have it in there. The hardest thing to find has been aspartame free gum.

To truly enforce Darwinism, we should abandon all medicine and medical services. Technically, we maintain all this so long as we neutered anyone who partook in any life saving services.
Just saying…
