In the US, the consequences for merely not signing up for Selective Service don't involve prison time, but are still pretty severe.

No employment through federal government, and ineligibility for federal benefits like FASFA. Many states and large private corporations that do work for the government won't hire the American males who didn't sign up for Selective Service.

That should go without saying, but I don't think even a lot of Americans know what the penalties are for not signing up.

And that's when you knew you had made the big time.

Honeycrisp is a University of Minnesota product. Their US patent on it expired in 2008, but supposedly $10,000,000 in royalties was raised by 2012.

Yeah, I hate using insecticides, but today I start work on a termite infested home. There aren't effective alternatives to what I'm going to have to use.

I wouldn't want to take 2-Amino-1,9-dihydro-9-((2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl)-6H-purin-6-one, but for millions the choice is suffer from certain viral attacks, or take Acyclovir. It's on the World Health Organizations list of essential medicines.

I fully agree with making things as safe as possible, but I disagree that always means 100% natural.

If I was forced to choose between drinking glyphosate or drinking naturally derived and organic approved pyrithren, it's well known the glyphosate has a much lower toxicity, so I'll go with the glyphosate.
