It's unfortunate that the screw ups of others ( not always careless) can have such a heavy toll on everyone as a whole "in interest of your protection".
For example, and maybe this is where BHO will end up, liquor.
People were blowing themselves and others sky high bootlegging back in whenever? I have no specific example but I'm sure if your bored you can do some googling , distilling liquor. Anyone can make beer at home, or wine, or even liqueur, but as soon as you start distilling, your breaking federal law. Besides safety concerns, there's the obvious "pocket lining" factor from taxs collected from legal distillers.
Why is no one out lobbying that liquor is an unnecessary concentrate.
I wonder if BHO enters the realm of federal (or at least state) regulation in manufacture?
or maybe I'm just putting too much thought into nothing but a bad news story on nothing but speculation.
