Reel him in slow, Sounds like a fighter.
As Dave says, "It's our own fault"...
However, considering how many of you in this thread seem to not care about kids based on your reckless disregard of the dangers of lead and lead-based dust, I wouldn't be surprised if you also have lots of "sharp things" around your home. This is exactly why we need the government to step in and regulate this sort of thing.
Man, I'm angry.
I brushed up against a coil in my oven, while flipping orange rughy fillets. It burnt my arm pretty bad!...... Ban Ovens...
Another time, I was fryin' bacon with out a shirt on.. Burnt my chest.
Goverment needs to ban "Hot" things!!
Pit Row
Kids are always throwing rocks at other kids, that's dangerous.
issues or things in life there's a starting & stopping
point. This bill goes to damn far .
Sure there's dust,
there's this &
there's that.........
Spin the dial in any direction & there's something that'll
do something that's fact.
Shoot, there's after & side effects to everything man made
it seems.
If this was "rammed' through as I'm hearing by some "agenda
slinging anti-anything motorized cowboys & cowgirls" then
where 's our "Minutemen & women", where?
People with commonsense know the score here really!
Posting is fun, but poke extreme as some will here, but
this is serious to me, & she's been pushed to far & to unfairly.
If the "AMA or MIC" or someone or something isn't out for us
& our rights & protections, then what's next, what?
Laugh it off, "dust or no dust" but look to history guys-n-gals,
cause you give an inch & they'll next take a mile.
Again, I've got 2 kids.......We've fished, races BMX & moto, I've been
a pro wrench/team mgr. /moto business owner my entire life.
To too many friends worldwide with families & similar choices & values
& never have I heard of anything related to getting ill from any of this
talk. Funny, I'm sure most with kids as old as mine l laugh too, when I
think back to the cute little "passifiers" I'd put into their mouths while they
were in the "teething times" most "passifiers" had cute little animal faces
that were colored colorfully.......WOW, there's that dreaded LEAD paint again!
That goes for most parents & kids the world over for sure. My kids are
16 & 20 now, same with most of my pals, yet NO SICKNESS!
NO TRACE. My dad had & beat "prostate cancer". I runs through my bro & I.
I get checked out from time to time, yet so far so good, but from all my
M/C endevers I'm clean.
Again, anything can be over done & taken to the extreme, this has.
"Household mold" will get you more than any of this............!
Funny too, I'm sure a large percentage of people against us, smoke to much,
drink & party to much, don't excerise enough, & so on.

You can actually drown in water.
Just putting that out there.
This is f%#king ridiculous.
The (Unfounded) Scare: Because stricter regulations on lead and phthalate levels in toys will not be imposed until February of 2009, toys being sold during this holiday season pose a health threat to children.
The Origin of the Scare: A group called the Ecology Center tested more than 1,500 toys for lead, cadmium, arsenic, phthalates, and other “harmful chemicals.” It claimed to have found that one-third of the toys contained “medium” or “high” levels of one or more of those chemicals and posted its report on the website HealthyToys.org.
While a variation of this scare occurs nearly every holiday season, this year’s was fueled by the fact that new regulations on phthalates and lead will not go into effect until February 10, 2009—which allowed anti-chemical activists to label some current toys as “illegal” and “toxic.”
The new regulations also inspired the Natural Resources Defense Council and Public Citizen to file a lawsuit against the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission for planning to allow toys manufactured before February 10, 2009 to continue to be sold after that cut-off date. New York City Councilman Eric Gioia also jumped on the “toxic toys” bandwagon, calling on retailers to remove all toys that don’t comply with the new regulations from their shelves in time for the holiday shopping season.
Media Coverage: While CNN Money declared, “One in 3 toys is toxic, group says,” the Associated Press provided readers with the marginally less inflammatory headline “Fewer toxic toys on shelves this year.” In a press release, the Ecology Center’s Jeff Gearhart said, “Our hope is that by empowering consumers with this information, manufacturers and lawmakers will feel the pressure to start phasing out the most harmful substances immediately, and to change the nation’s laws to protect children from highly toxic chemicals.”
The AP quoted officials of the Toy Industry Association as questioning the report and the tests it employed. Vice president of standards and regulatory affairs Joan Lawrence, for example, called the report “misleading to consumers” and explained, “They [the Ecology Center] use the XRF technology that is at best recognized by the federal government as a screening tool—it is not a test….They used a short cut that is an incomplete picture.”
ACSH’s Perspective: We are amazed the unfounded scare about toxic toys during the holiday season continues to get attention year after year. “The toxic terrorists know exactly how to time these stories to get themselves at the top of the news,” Dr. Elizabeth Whelan said in December 4’s Morning Dispatch. “It doesn’t matter that these scares have no relation whatsoever to science, health, medicine, or even commonsense.”
She also reminded us that even when parents and the media were panicking over lead-contaminated toys from China, “no child was ever hurt. It is pure scare tactics based on the fact that the lead levels were higher than the extremely conservative guidelines.”
In December 5’s Morning Dispatch, Cheryl Martin made the important point, “I don’t understand all this uproar about toys—we grew up with much less regulation, and no child was ever poisoned by their toys.”
Jeff Stier wrote a New York Post op-ed entitled “Toxic Toys: False Alarm” about a similar scare last year. He maintained, “Toys must be safe—but forcing the CPSC to apply unreasonable standards based on junk science claims promotes only panic, not safety.”
The Bottom Line: The uproar over “toxic toys” is based on a regulatory issue and not a true safety concern. As technology improves, we can detect lower and lower levels of chemicals in toys and many other consumer products. But government safety standards are already set well below the levels at which some of these chemicals may become harmful, so scaring parents over “highly toxic” toys is ridiculous.
The schools we all went to, aspestos ladened and full of lead paint.
We all should be dead then or have a zillion diseases.
