You do, of course, mean to say "Rodent-Americans." Especially those in
the Unpaid Experimental Subject profession. And if they determine that
Ada is carcenogenic, I think there should be a series of lawsuits by
municipalities against the Ada manufacturers for causing them to spend
money on public health care.
And next, we go after McDonald's for using a clown to sell known health
hazzards to kids! (the bastards!)
Possibly a few good multi-billion dollar lawsuits over Ada might do a
lot to publicize the language. But who would sue over what?
