Apparently you live in that Grover Norquist bubble of relativization where taxation is comparable directly to the Holocaust. Also you choose to ignore the rest of my post where I problematize my own arguement. No one is "oppressed" by warning labels on cigarettes or food.
We simply don't have an epidemic of knee injuries or carpal tunnel the way we do with cancer and obesity. I surprised you're not more worried about injuries resulting from your kneejerk responses here 
Also if you'd bother to look under your own nose you will most likely see a sticker on you keyboard reading, "WARNING: Some experts believe that the use of any keyboard may cause serious injury." and then a direction to flip your keyboard over for more detailed warnings. Oh my god, I'm so oppressed! |
Warning labels allow government to start regulating once they see that the labels don't have any effect.
(as an aside, were the personal attacks necessary????)
