The other day someone posted a child’s home made cupcakes being shut down because the board of health said they were in violation of their food preparation codes. The article written like the big bad govt came in and shut down this poor kid’s cupcake business. Hey, it’s the law. If someone were to eat the cupcake and get sick then what?

They'd be liable the same as anyone else?

And further, trademark infringement, is apples to oranges to an 11 year old making and selling cupcakes. If the National Felon League wants to defend their trademark and property rights, so what. Me personally, I think it's petty to hype the game and then do something like this; especially when these people (while indirectly benefiting from increase revenue to the town etc) have to deal with traffic and party-peoples throwing up in their street. But the trademark is the property of the NFL.

The big bad government did come in and shut down an 11 year old's small time cup cake business. An 11 year old that donated much of her profits, and cupcakes to cancer charities, and the rest she was saving to buy a car. I guess she should've been taught to not work or be responsible and expect your benevolent government to provide everything for her....besides, those cancer patients have 0care now - they don't need her charity.

But, you're absolutely right. The law *is* the law. We need government to tell us every little thing about what is safe and what is not. We should screw everyone over and let 0care stand without further fight because it's the law.

Any old gun-grab legislation that gets passed should be allowed to stand without a fight because it's the law. And no one should ever say anything to the contrary, because the law is the law. And of course any articles against such government overreach benevolence would be "stupid." I mean what if someone had a fully semi-automatic machine pistol with a clip magazine thingy of 8 high powered bullets......and they shot someone? I mean aren't high powered bullets just as dangerous as e coli or botulism?

You are the exact reason gas pumps have decals warning people gasoline is harmful if ingested. I mean, what if someone didn't know that and they drank the gas and got sick? Oh noes..........

I guess your point is that I’m a jerk for saying that companies have a right and should fight to keep their trademarks.
