I hope you realize that I did not write the article...it was written by someone from Fox News. I posted it and merely agreed with some of the points it made. Your comment on "...find out the facts before you want to start how stupid we really are and can get away with." What exactly do you mean there? I'd be interested to know. Thanks.</p> Hi Jolean,

Thanks for the comment. I hope you realize that I did not write the article…it was written by someone from Fox News. I posted it and merely agreed with some of the points it made. Your comment on “…find out the facts before you want to start how stupid we really are and can get away with.” What exactly do you mean there? I’d be interested to know. Thanks.

Plus does everyone really know about the carbon monixide coming from the motor(s) if your hanging over the side of a boat, just floating there(and some kids do that). These may sound ridiculous...but find out the facts before you want to start how stupid we really are and can get away with. Warning labels are just that....because Americans will do almost anything for the greed of money.

Some guy is driving a minivan down a long, straight road with no traffic around. This warning says "Professional Driver - Do Not Attempt". What, I can't drive a minivan down a straight road? Do I have to be a professional driver to do that? What exactly do they think I'm going to do with this minivan if I buy it? My favorite is a car commercial.
