THOSE WHO READ SHADOW'S WORLD know that I'm perpetually at war with the governmental 'safety nanny' idiots (herewith to be called nannidiots). Here's this month's example of nannidiocy: hiding directions for use in warning label on a bottle of weed killer.
The bottle is a small one of concentrate, so the 'instructions' are a 16-page foldout taped to the side of the bottle. The first 8 pages (the entire front side of the foldout) are risks & warnings, mostly common sense, and a few, frankly, idiotic. The last 8 pages (the back side of the foldout) contain 6 pages of blather and ads and only two (2!) of actual, you know, directions for use.
The directions themselves could have easily been printed on the side of the bottle in large print.
