suffice to say that I am v e r y skeptical of the government riding in on a white horse when it comes to these issues

no problem

I uderstand your position on it

the EU should be burned to the ground at this point, but the legislation they've enacted for consumer protection is stronger than anything in the world

Ahh

I was thinking baked goods
