    Default Nanny state at its finest

    Imagine what a wonderful world it would be if liberals minded their own damned business?

    But, there is part of me that says "fuck you" New York, you voted for this shit, you deserve it. I wonder if they will lie down and take it like the little proles they are?

    In September 1998, new legislation was introduced in the UK which limited packs of paracetamol bought to 32 tablets in pharmacies and 16 tablets for packs bought elsewhere. Obviously if you really want to kill yourself you could just go to another pharmacy or supermarket. Surprisingly however, deaths by paracetamol overdose have been dramatically reduced since that rule was introduced.

    Well if that's the case then I suppose you are right but I thought they were trying to restrict the total amount you could order at one time.
