Then you are a damn malevolent fool who wishes to endanger the public health and safety. I'm sorry, I cannot put it any less strongly than that. Do not tell me that private enterprise will enforce this. We tried that already; that's why we have an FDA in the first place.
I didn't particularly propose to argue for libertarian positions with you; that wasn't the point of my comment, and I would not expect to convince you, certainly not in the space of a brief exchange of comments on lj. I was simply noting my position.
Do you have a choice you favor for the president who did the greatest active harm, as opposed to simply being inept?
Some positions are merely worth noting. You advocate making the food I eat and the drugs I take positively unsafe. I will not let that pass without the strongest possible denunciation.
Greatest active harm? Biased by the degree we're suffering from it today, but probably: 1. W. 2. Nixon. 3. Reagan.
