Ack! I don't like that. I'm a strong supporter of the idea of personal
liability, but that ranks as an accident, if I understand you.
We believe (don't we?) that the herb, rosemary is safe, so we dispose of
it willy nilly. Twenty years from now it turns out that some exotic
organic compound contained in the rosemary stem is carcinogenic, does
that mean that everyone who's composted their rosemary stems is a criminal?
That's very different than trying to sneak barrels of
1,3-methylethylketone into the public compost heap.
Or did I miss something?
