    Instant messaging is more akin to speech than to writing, at least to me. Look at how colloquial the choice of words is; and how often you get multiple messages, because people type the messages as the thought enter their heads, as opposed to a thought-out statement like you would write down on a piece of paper, or any non-instant message format.

    When I first learned about this, I couldn’t believe the amount of stupidity that fits into people.

    Basically, California has stricter rules regarding the toxicity of products and requires manufacturers to warn about them. But only Californians. So instead of simply writing “This product may contain harmful chemicals”, they explicitly say “To residents in California: This product may contain harmful chemicals”. How is this any better?
