Tobacco products are represented by 25% of the population. The 75% of
the population thinks it's OK to tax them in self defense since another
majority, that includes some of the 25%, thinks it's their moral duty to
pay for other peoples errors in judgement.
That's the tyranny of the masses aka democracy, and social engineering
at work.

Tobacco products bring in tax dollars, they will never be outlawed.

Dear Bob,
You said:
<<Right on. With all the evidence on tobacco why weren't the tobacco
companies treated the same way. They are allowed to pay damages and raise
their prices to get it back. Knowing that their addict customers will still
be there. I'm not an advocate of Seasilver. I just believe in equal
treatment.>>
** This is really not relevant. I agree with what you say about things
that are allowed to exist that are harmful to people, but we're not talking
about a substance here that is necessarily harmful (Sea Silver), we're
talking about a company misrepresenting a product.
There are plenty of other examples we can come up with like this - for
instance, the pharmaceutical industry. But this doesn't mean that
everything sahould be overlooked because some things are.
My biggest issue with Sea Silver is not it's poor performance, it's that
the company repeatedly refused to divulge the amounts of the various
nutrients they claim are in their product. I called numerous times letting
them know that I had a client base of hundreds of people who take my
recommendations seriously. They claimed that because it is "all natural"
the amounts vary. I suggested that they must have done some tests on the
product that showed ingredients and the range of amounts of each. They
admitted they did but again refused to divulge this.
Not everyone is as insistent on details as I am. So who knows what
others who use this product are getting. They could be paying $40 for a
bottle that contains no more nutrients than a Flintstone's vitamin.
Regards,
Catherine
