That's very unfortunate, Ron. Socialism at its finest, eh? Yikes!

I completely agree with this, Erlend. What ever happened to common sense? When I hear of people suing McDonalds because they got fat, it makes me want to vomit. Or someone suing the tobacco companies because they got cancer...umm...it says right on the warning label that it could do just that! Governments need to be finding ways to stay out of our lives and business, not get in them even more. Regulating bananas?? What's next?
