"We had a post earlier this week about the silliness of the Surgeon General’s
idea for a warning on social media, and that linked to a longer piece Mike
wrote about it at
The Daily Beast, which talked about a similar push by
former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop getting upset about video games. The
excellent
Pessimist’s Archive put up a whole article about that historical
farce, and has given us permission to repost it here. We also recommend
subscribing to the
Pessimist’s Archive for a regular dose of lessons of moral
panics from years past."
