Damien, My major problem with this attitude on the part of the Swedes is that
I don't know hardly anything that is completely safe. Do you suppose that as
they start to notice the harmful aspects of common household and industrial
substances they will begin outlawing those substances retroactively? Will
they get all the way back to caveman days do you suppose? Can you imagine a
caveman chipping an arrowhead while wearing safety goggles to prevent stone
chips from blinding him?
