[Politics_CurrentEvents_Group] Re: Anarchists Battle Cops In London

What I want is for every product and every service to be evaluated, the way the "Consumers Report" magazine does it. I trust the "Consumers Report" magazine more than I trust the government. Of course, we will need all products and all services, or at least as many products and as many services as possible, to be evaluated. I would not ban anything. I would evaluate everything and make the result of that evaluation available to as many people as possible.
