A few years ago they banned burning Grass Fields in Spokane, WA. Killed the Grass farmers livelihood, yet allowed everybody else cleaner air to breathe. I guess it just depends on what side of the fence you stand. Since then I have not planted grass seed in protest (not really), yet I am still very fond of breathing. By the way, according to the Mayans, who incidentally are not here to witness the event, we only have about 4 years left on the planet. Not sure if this has anything to do with the new administration or not. Guess time will tell. Joe Last edited by GIJoe : 01-18-2009 at 01:49 AM. Reason: Fat Fingers |

My personal favorite reason for regulation is "If it saves just one life, it's worth it" Common sense will save more lives than some of these regulations ever will and at a significantly lower cost. People with no common sense should be Darwin Awards candidates anyways..

Stupidity kills WAY more people than rockets or guns.
Why don't they outlaw THAT? |

More Nonsense from Uncle Sam
Thanks to the outgoing George Bush, who signed into law the bill know as CPSIA (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act) manufacuters and resellers of childrens items will be effected by this law.
The law was signed on August 14,2008 and the first phase will be in effect on February 10,2009. You need to read the regulation to get the full benefit and it can be found on the CPSC web site www.cpsc.gov The CPSC made a press release on January 8,2009 Release #09-086 From what I can gather, it not only applies to domestic manufactuers but foreign (China products) as well coming into the US. And, from what I gather it is not only for TOYS, but, all Children's products being sold in the United States. How lame is this, the country is in a recession now, many companies and businesses are going down the crapper and here the feds have to FORCE more rules and regulation upon our businesses. Only those companies that are raking in millions and probably billions of dollars, and in my opinion, that would be a company such as Mattel, just think of how many Barbies are sold every year, can affaord such stupidity. The only ones to benefit are the firms that do the testing and the lawyers who bring bring a lawsuit at the drop of a hat. Our feds at their best......rolleyes. Plain ans simple, the way I read the legislation EVERYONE MUST COMPLY !!!!! You can call an item whatever you want, but, if children are involved, you must COMPLY, there is no getting around it. This is my6 opinion, just go to the CPSC web page and read all of the subject matter on LEAD. More BS from Uncle Sam.......................... |
