Steve,In response to your question about whether they can ban something without an exact definition, it doesn't matter. As I said before, they don't care about facts. They're showing off that they can do whatever they want to do, and the public, in whose interest they pretend to be acting, be damned. Don't think public health; think power. Here are a few more zingers. "I believe it is appropriate to have an 'over-representation' of the facts on how dangerous it is, as a predicate for opening up the audience." - Al Gore, Climate Change activist
"It doesn't matter what is true, it only matters what people believe is true."
- Paul Watson, co-founder of Greenpeace"Unless we announce disasters no one will listen." - Sir John Houghton, first chairman of IPCC
"The only way to get our society to truly change is to frighten people with the possibility of a catastrophe."
