Earth to America - Lighten up please

Sometimes I wonder (worry) about people who are supposed to be the most powerful nation on earth and self declared world leaders, and their decision making processes - an excellent example is the whole shebang about the Zippo Lightertrick Page - see Website explores dangers of playing with fire - BBC. Apparently the NFPA and US senators, who felt the site was encouraging young people to play with fire, called for the Zippo tricks page's closure. Zippo obviously had to comply as any fire, caused by an idiot with a lighter could have lead to them been sued - the US been the US ... enough said! What Zippo said that closing down this site will just drive it underground - which is exactly which has now happened.

It has now resurfaced as the Lightertricks page and I agree with their premise - anyone stupid enough to play with his lighter and burning his fingers (pardon the pun - NOT!) or burning the house down, has to take the consequences. Like we would expect from anybody able to surf the web and been able to actually read. You would have thought drugs, underage drinking and teenage pregnacies is a bigger problem - but then what do I know. Also had a look at the Extreme TV channel lately - now that is something no parent would want his teenage son looking at - I'm sure its sponsored by a few doctors and dentists!
