Exactly. This government is very big on
"protecting the stupid".
Personally, I see it as "fighting Darwin"...natural selection can do
the right thing if left to its own devices.
Well, I do believe I've seen the absolute height of the expectation
of stupidity...
There is a car commercial here in the states in which a rock band is
playing on stage... a car drives onto the stage, and then out into
the mosh pit area, apparently being supported by the concert
attendees...
At the bottom of the screen are the words (paraphrased):
"Do not drive on people"
We have that commercial up here too, but without the warning
label. They must figure that we are either smarter here, or
have dumber lawyers (both would be nice :-)).
