Ruth was putting out some votive candles (the little candles with the aluminum wrap that you put in things like fancy candles holders)  the other day and, mostly out of boredom, I read what was on the box. I am unsure on what to feel about what was in the warnings:

• Should I feel insulted that “they” think we are really that stupid?
• ARE we so stupid that warnings like this are necessary?
• (and if so, aren’t we also too stupid to read the warnings?)
• Is this just another example of the “McDonald’s Hot Coffee” syndrome, proving once again that we are too litigious a society?
