so i have found my voice again....in an article that i have just read about Ontario refusing to put warning labels for health risks on cell phones? they say the manufacturers already label the phones in the information package inside.
tell me something people....why on earth would they not? studies have shown the increase of health risk due to usage of cell phones that are linked to cancer. Ya know...the disease that Terry Fox died from!!!
if this is a potential health risk....a valid one, why the hell are they not making all phone manufacturers do it????
so let's be clear on what the government does force a label on.....
- cigarettes. these are the number one bad habit of Canadians. the government forces the industry to put warnings on the packaging as a....(here it is now)HEALTH RISK. they have gone as far as making the manufacturers put disgusting pictures on the front that seem only to disturb the non-smokers! and force the store owners to hide them behind doors so the youth can't see them....WOW WHAT A DETERENT THAT IS??? the manufacturers of cigarettes for years had warning labels on their packs in Canada....why add the graphics?
why.....cause the government has to LOOK PIOUS as they make a hefty profit from the tax on SMOKES and to loose that revenue would cost a huge increase in taxes for all the non-smokers. thats right all you non-smokers...kiss a smoker, they are paying your tax increase for you. i often wish one morning i would wake to find that Canada has gone smoke free...i will open my window to listen to all the non-smokers begin to cry about why THEIR TAXES HAVE GONE WAAAAAAAAAAY UP. (smiling here!)
- liquor. there is another product the government shows no mercy for when it comes to advertising. DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE. DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE KILLS.... we have all seen the ads on tv. why such a huge campaign for this product. the government is also making tax dollars off the drinkers. imagine if you drink and smoke, the tax is staggering....kiss them too you non-smoker/drinkers. they keep your taxes low also. commercials on television for beer and liquor tell the viewer to DRINK RESPONSIBLY. isn't that enough?
the provincial government can ban texting and making calls while you drive??? HELL its a criminal law.....(that doesn't get enforced much by the way)
so why Mr. McGinty, can't you go the extra step and put the warning label on the damn phones??
I HAVE YET TO SEE A PHONE MANUFACTURER AD say....monitor your usage it may contribute to cancer???!!!!!
KNOW WHAT I SAY????
THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD STAY THE HELL OUT OF AD CAMPAIGNS FOR HEALTH REASONING. IF THEY WANT THE PUBLIC TO BE AWARE OF A DANGER, allow the manufacturers to place the warning label.....like the phone company manufacturers did.
IF ITS GOOD FOR ONE.......ITS GOOD FOR THEM ALL.
oh and another reason.....stop treating us like we are helpless children that need your guidance and interruption in our private lives. IF I WANT TO SMOKE, I WILL! IF I WANT TO DRINK, I WILL! at least extend me the courtesy of having some intelligence and allow me to make my own decisions about my life and health.
I AM NOT SAYING I AM FOR OR AGAINST SMOKING OR DRINKING.....i am saying I AM AN ADULT AND CAN BE RESPONSIBLE.
those that can't....well they deserve the laws in place to prosecute if death is caused.
so then, can we pass laws to try in a court of law manufacturers who's product causes the death of an individual??? can a cigarette company CEO go to jail because i die of a cancer? can a company that makes alcohol be imprisoned for a drunk driver victim? does any of this become their responsibility? if so, nothing would get made and we could have no pleasure beyond the everyday humdrum.
smooth move Ontario.....this is one more reason you should be voted out in the next election.
VOTE.........smart.
