Thank you for further expanding on this idea.  You have taken a more
serious look at it than I did, and I think I could be talked into this

Maybe I *was* oversimplifying here, and too pessimistic about politics.
Rational policies *do* sometimes get instituted, even with reguard to sex.

Your linking of the card idea to truth-in-packaging is essential to the
