Really Dan? I'm a bit confused here. You have so far alluded to me
being on both sides in this one thread. Please don't be so fickle.
Let me know what side your really wanting to be on, the Left or the
Right side and I will almost guarentee that I will be on the
opposite ?

Neither, I am not on the left or the right. By your writings it sounds like
your world is black or white, right or wrong, them or us, opposite of the
other. My world of right and wrong are two thin lines with a vast grey
middle. That is why you are confused because your thoughts are perhaps
polarized, positive or negative and cannot understand anything other way of
thinking.

More important is, How does this relate to you needing to
be told not to drink Tobacco tea?

By my nature, I protect myself by protecting others. If I state something
that might harm another or get someone in trouble by direct or indirect
means, I could be in trouble with the law or get sued. By protecting myself
I will state the obvious like "Do Not Drink It, because of harm" even
though few if any will.

Like before, why state the obvious? Because people will and have done
stupid things. Even antifreeze has warning poison labels on them, why? To
protect themselves from legal problems. Like those companies to protect
myself.

But also not just legal problems. If I said something that caused physical
harm to others, if seemed humorous or innocent at the time, I would also
feel emotionally bad and I do not want to feel bad. I know others would not
feel bad and laugh at others misery. I have a feeling you are in the laugh
at others category.

Now as a third person, when others states things that physically harm
others. I will laugh at the stupidity of others of both sides. Like your
list of warnings. Since I did not directly or indirectly caused the harm, I
would not feel guilty or bad. Call me self centered if you wish

If this does not answer your question, then I do not know what will.
