'Use' , The consumer (Me , You & All) are susceptible to every
manufacturer's mis-deed's/mis-reported/mis-???? testing .
WITH LEGISLATION to that effect you give Government goons (God, I
just love Government goons) the ability to what , '?' Confiscate/penalize/ticket/? ?
Sorry , legislation is NOT (Repeat NOT) the only avenue .
Education of the Consumer & Manufacturer is the ONLY sustainable
recourse .
Sorry for my tirade (Which it is) , But there's too many people taht
just get on the 'Legislation' pulpit and don't think it thru .
