Warning labels are bad for society
I’ve been wanting to rant on this topic for a long time. I don’t understand why the Attorney General continues to enable the disservice to our society by encouraging outrageos uses of warning labels on goods and/or services. I personally feel that it has gone too far! We really need to consider the audience these warning are intended to reach, and the inevitable consequences society faces when forced to spell out basic common sense principles that prevent someone from hurting themselves (or others) while using common products. If I had my way … there would no longer be a warning on bottles of bleach advising against drinking the contents of the container. First off, if a baby gets ahold of it, they probably can’t read … so it’s not going to help out much for infants out there (that’s why the caps are a pain to remove). So we have to conclude that the warning is for someone who can read, is strong enough to open the cap, and isn’t actively attempting the kill themselves … just a little thirsty. Is this someone we want breeding?
Obviously our broken legal system is at the root of many warnings out there, just to avoid stupid lawsuits. Does a chainsaw maker really have to warn it’s customer ‘do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals’ … are you kidding me? I’ve had enough! Remove the labels … there’s nothing like introducing a little bit of chlorine to our gene pool. I’m not saying I would have passed the screening test for survival, and I understand the outrage to come when genetic engineering defines our social status … but what if we could start with a suttle step forward? What if we chose a path that encouraged the strong/intelligent to survive? Would the world be a better place for our kids?
