This conversation is just an extension of the consequences of living in a society where a bag of peanuts, clearly labelled and easily identifiable as peanuts, carries an additional warning: "This product contains peanuts."

Well, if you're on a computer, you're in contact with a device that contains potentially toxic chemicals. The only way to avoid contact with chemicals is to build your own home with hand tools, grow your own food, make your own clothes from organic cotton, and never go anywhere. And even going to those extremes won't isolate you from all chemical hazards, it will only limit the amount of contact.

No one gets out of this world alive.

I've suffered no ill effects from Ellis tasting, can't say the same for Tom's cheesehead sampling.......
I have one of those folding cardboard sun shields for my windshield. There is a warning along the bottom which reads, "Do not operate vehicle with shield in place".
WARNING: Continues use of this mandolin could lead to abandonment of previously purchased expensive guitars.
I saw a bumper sticker that said something similar about fishing. WARNING: Continued fishing can lead to driving right past many golf courses.
On a small string of packing "pillows," Warning! This Is Not To Be Used As Personal Flotation Devise!"
