Truth in Labeling

University of Kansas EECS Dept
(smirk, government)

My daughter recently bought a cap at an Army-navy surplus store, and I was
startled to note that the label attached to it was almost bigger than the 
cap itself.  Possible indicating the direction in which increasing government 
regulations are taking all of us.
