OmegaPaladin: “After all, I like being able to buy a medicine and know that it does what it says on the bottle, buy a toy and know that it isn’t coated in toxic paint, buy a some food and know that it really is low fat, go to work and know that any chemicals I receive will be labeled such that we will know what to do in case of a spill, etc. All the result of evil regulation.”

That’s so true. Because, obviously, there would be no strong market incentive for companies to put those things on their products anyway, right?

And it’s not like American adults should be able to choose whether they want to buy from a company that provides basic safety information versus one that doesn’t (which would likely go bankrupt anyway). Responsibility is so overrated.
