Am I? Do you read my words asif I'm proposing that? Does the FDA check ALL food? No, it doesn't. It only checks a number of specifically mentioned drugs.
I do not mind that/if governments formally forbid certain specifically types of tools and games. Tools like Refox might be allowed, but only in a controlled environment, as I proposed.

>>Ah, but there is a lot of legislation (is that the right word here?) that prescribes who is allowed to produce and sell pseudoephedrine and who isn't. And these laws have been implemented because we don't want it to be produced or sold by people who have immoral intentions to do so.

>>This same reasoning should be applied to tools like Refox and WE, the community, should have dealt with it a long time ago. We should have regulated its usage: when is it appropriate and when is it illegimite.
