Hardly. It's in a vault, in a sealed casket, 6 feet under. It's not dioxin. I'd be 100x more worried about all the gas stations sprinkled in our neighborhoods, their run off and rusting underground tanks.

That's the nature of freedom. It's not about what you want. We should live and let live as long as the other person is not a danger to us. Once they cross the line, and endanger us, then we can complain with cause. The trouble is -- our response is to write a law for every idiot, which then restrains us all. Rather, we should enforce the laws we already have on the books -- like reckless endangerment, or disturbing the peace.
