if anyone's ever been to a shopping mall (or any other public place 
where parents and their
offspring may be found simultaneously), then you won't mind my assertion 
that
 "a LOT of parent-types are total morons when it comes to raising their 
kids".
so ... how many of these "total morons" will understand that Dave's 
Insanity sauce ( found
on sale $1.99 ... isn't quite the same as Tabasco hot sauce (regular 
priced at $2.49)  ??
a mis-aimed splash of an extract-based sauce, into the airways of a 
youngster, could
easily result in a breathing crisis.   Blairs Sudden Death anyone?

if this list were dedicated to, say ... "chainsaws"
there'd likely be very few "yuk-yuk-har-har" comments about idiot 
parents using chainsaws
to terrorize their kids in the name of "discipline".

this List should be defending the Honor of Chile Peppers by decrying 
inappropriate usage.
not guffawing about it.
