    whitewash history much?

    it's not a myth. and iit was far more than "just a fragment". the tax penalty "punishment" came from them too.
    really, the only things dems did was tack on minimum coverage, and a public optopn (that later got dropped).

    you folks can try to whitewash the history all you want.
    but no one is falling for it.

    yes, and while i agree people are bad at diagnosing risk, there are other factors that contribute to our perception of relative danger.
    such as the ability of us to fight back or otherwise react to a developing situation, or the scale of potential harm.

    air travel is safer than driving.
    yet air travel is far far more tightly regulated and controlled in terms of safety, both because as a passenger theres very little we can do in event of a accident, and because the number of people exposed to harm in any one event. car mishaps are also more survivable than aircraft, even if the aircraft relative rate of mishaps is lower. ie, more likely to walk away from a car mishap than airliner.

    you mention a mass drug overdose (or possible poisoning by the sound). again, that's far more survivable than a gunshot wound.
    again, while the odds of firearm involvement are lower, the odds of irrecoverable harm when they are involved, is far higher.

    we can even consider this on things as simple as the idea of locking our doors at night.
    its all a part of risk management and preventive caution.

    no, the lawyers would not be the ones making the interpreatation.
    rather, under such a law the lawyer bringing the suit would have to prove somehow what is misleading and what is accurate, which would mean bringing in evidence, just like any other suit. evidence that would consist of scientific papers and expert testimony from actual scientists. any attempts to present inaccurate science in court would then also be wide open to rebuttal by presenting of peer reviews and counter arguing science.

    so again: you prove that understand nothing
