It's one of those things that was supposed to be "taken care of" during Reconciliation!

I doubt it will get widespread coverage now either!

As long as Health and Human Services mandates that a "not to be used for commission of sex crimes" warning label be placed on the FRONT of the bottle everything should be OK.
