Kills people = bad stuff, keep it locked away is a pretty dangerous, slippery slope.

- jacquesm 9y agoHow so? Sweet smelling liquids that kill and children are not compatible in the same space. That's a pretty good reason to keep your various cleaning stuff out of the reach of toddlers whose need to experiment exceeds their capability to understand.
- Arizhel 9y agoTrue, but isn't this basic common sense? We do exactly the same with other poisonous chemicals in the house: drain cleaner, etc. Of course, most of them aren't sweet-smelling like antifreeze, but you also don't use antifreeze in the house, only in the car. I think the real problem with antifreeze is when people drain their radiators at home and then leave the old antifreeze out, either because they're too lazy to put it in a sealed container right away, or because they're letting it evaporate instead of figuring out how to dispose of it properly. Then, usually, some animal comes across it (and is attracted by the smell).
- sqeaky 9y agoI don't think it was meant that the government should lock it away, but rather that people using such toxins for legitimate purposes should take basic precautions.
