It's an interesting idea.\n\nIt gives the Mountain image -- like Purple Mountain Majesty.\nIt gives a fresh image--fresh as the morning dew.\nIt gives this image that we never sleep because it is latent with caffeine, and well it gives you this image that we are daring jumping off rocks or what not.\n\nStill, I think we should go something without a company endorsement.

This has already started...Vending machines being pulled from schools...California has toyed with the idea of a Tax on soft drinks to "offset" health associated costs due to childhood obesity...etc....\n\nWhats next?  We keep sacrificing a little bit more free choice and parental control to the Government to do it for us every day....After caffeine who will they go after....because realistically EVERY food causes some sort of issue in a percentage of the population.....even those consider the most "healthy" beans, legumes, peanuts, sprouts...etc Look up any food and you will find medical problems related to someone with it...should we regulate everything everyone eats because some don't control themselves or their children at all?????

YOu got me on this I am going to google this for you. \n\nI've heard that Yellow Dye #5, an ingredient in Mountain Dew, can have detrimental effects on the male population. Is this true? Is Yellow Dye #5 harmful in any other way?\n\nNo. Yellow Dye #5 is an additive that has been used since 1916 in a number of popular products like skim milk, yogurt, and macaroni and cheese. It is fully approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in food and soft drinks and, as such, is completely safe for consumers. If you want more information, check out the information on the FDA's website at http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~lrd/colorfac.html. \n\nAs for any other rumors you may hear regarding Yellow Dye #5, you can rest assured that they are completely false. From time to time these misleading rumors circulate throughout the country and it is difficult to say why or how they began. \n\nHere at Mountain Dew, we work hard to ensure the quality and great taste of our products. We would never allow harmful ingredients to be included in our soft drinks. We want you to be able to keep drinking gallons of Dew for all eternity.

I don't think America would like to be the ones to let the Genie out of the bottle again. See, we used the bomb to end WW2 and saved not only American Lives, but Japanese lives too. It was estimated that over a MILLION people would die if we invaded Japan.\n\nThe trouble with nukes is they are area wide weapons. It takes out everyone, good people, kids, bad people, and anything else in that area. America would much rather try to do things conventional if they could.\n\nI think that we need to send the message, world wide, that if a nuke goes off, or a dirty bomb in the US, what ever country support that group that committed that crime, will be visited by us. We will bring the million degrees of heat and they supply the sand and we will turn their country into a glass parking lot.\n\nWe cant let terrorist run our country, even with threats of attack. We have to stand strong, or bend over and kiss it good bye cause, they will come after us if we leave Iraq undone and incomplete.\n\nAre you listening Democrats???? Then who are you going to blame for that attack????

I personally like Canadians and think it is perfectly ok to assume an american persona when drunk. This is also good for america as we europeans believe them to be religious fanatics and it would give them some good press if we thought they could cut loose, throw up in the street and start a punch up like all us normal people.

Yes, this is a yahoo war because I am totally against illegals right to work in the United States and every AMERICAN, it does not matter what race, should feel the same.\n\n But, however I do like tequila!! And usually end up on the floor!!\n\nBOOBOOLUBEAR, THAT HAPPENS IN OTHER COUNTRIES TOO!!!DUH!!! AMERICANS CAN DO WHAT THEY WANT TO BECAUSE WE PAY FOR THAT RIGHT TO BEAR CHILDREN AND I BELIEVE WE SHOULD SUPPORT OUR CHILDREN. THE MEXICAN GOVT DOES NOT SUPPORT OUR CHILDREN AND FAMILY!!!!!

Hmmm. It's time to take our studio audience all the way to Zimbabwe.\n\nNews Reporter (NR): What are the restrictions imposed on your country by the American Democracy and Economic Recovery Act?"\n\nCitizen(C): " I don't know good sir, but I am so hungry and thirsty, could you just give me a taste of your soda I see in your hand?"\n\nNR: "Sir, sir, will you just answer the question?"\n\nC: I am dying from thirst, please.\n\nNR: Well, I'll take that as a no comment.\n\nC: Sir, where are you going? I am thirsty. Do you think any of us knows what is going on? Sir? We are peons.  But rest assured that sh** roles down hill, so anything the US does to our government, it does to us first.  They wil not go hungry or thirsty, our government officials.  They are at the top. Sir?..........Sir..........oh for god's sake! I am thirsty!\n(Speaking to NR's back as he and his crew walk to van, ignoring C and load their equipment back into it.)

I agree with you. Americans think that we can boss around every one we please. We have a severe case of nationalism, and arrogance.

I'm against it- people dont know how to regulate themselves- besides, we have enough problems with alcohol- adding another addicting drug that alters your emotions and motor skills to the legal list is a bad idea.

Why? do you want to drink it?

You know I really don't see why not? After all people in Europe are allowed to drink at the age of 16-Germany---and in Mexico the drinking age was 18 until now that it's 21. I think the reason why it's 21 is because people in the US are too freaking retarded and dont' know how to act right. Why in foreign countries the drinking age is lower and they actually have less accidents or anyother problems? Think about that!

The United States has a Federal Government, not a National Government.  Each state is responsible for governing itself regarding matters within that state.\n\nAs for the drinking age, the states are free to set it as they please.  About 20 years ago the federal government passed a law that any state that was not age 21 would lose it's share of federal highway maintenance money.  All the states wanted the money so they changed it.

Wow. That's a tough question.\nPersonally I disagree with government controls of personal decions. Unfortunately, there are a lot of stupid people out there that don't know how to behave responsibly. Also, meth is an amazingly addictive drug. I know, I became addicted to it. I haven't touched it in over a year and a half, but having been there I can say that there is no positive outcome from using it. It eats your body and numbs your mind.\n\nSo, should it be legal? Probably not.\nDo I feel that it would be safer if allowed to be produced in safer, controlled conditions, not to mention the amount of money it would save the government not fighting that particular war? Plus tax revenues? Probably. Plus our personal freedoms could use every boost they can get, even in this "free" country.
