   Yup.  Our whole society is now made up of, it seems, children looking 
for toys.

   Well there was a measure of responsibility on the part of the users 
here.  That was a corporation, and corporations do what corporations do. 
  Someone should've seen that coming.  Oh wait, the rest of us did!

   This is WHAT SUITS DO.  As soon as people get that through their 
thick, short-attention-span drug-addled heads, the risk will evaporate.
