Ill simply get out my Brown shirt, Charlie Chaplain mustache & Red Armband with the white circle Swashtica on it & star burning Childerns copies of the Torah, Winnie the pooh, & lots of other Jewish & non-Jewish childrens books, while notifying the Local Press & inviting the press of a local book burning. As new & downloaded Copies of Mein Kampf & the Communist manifesto are OK & but old children's copies of the Torah & Winnie the pooh are not I cant get over the Irony of what these MORONS are doing with this new law. Or that I have seen it all somewhere before in newsreels of what went on in Germany Back in 1939. It reminds me of that ever so timely quote, "Where one burns books, one eventually burns bodies.... " It does however offer us the opportunity to use INCREDIBLY bad Taste & Sarcasm when complying ;^) If they want us to get rid of those evil lead filled books, why not comply???

Anything stopping China from attacking markets with social dumping seems fair to me.

Congress passed the law, and Bush signed it. Neither branch of government is without blame, but to give both credit, who would've thought? I tend to agree with Mikeeeey--lead may be the least of our worries, as we drink water infused with discarded medications recycled by our water plants, eat beef fed on who knows what besides growth hormones, snack on peanut butter crackers... Well, you get the drift! A good example of the unintended consequences of good intentions. Congress passed the law, and Bush signed it.

This was sponsored and babied through by the most liberal elements of the Democratic party. It is not a reflection of Bush, but on how moronic the whole political establishment is. 2) Beyond blog comments, I hope everyone has contacted their representatives asking for an exemption for small and thrift shops.

Sure, lead has some effects on intelligence but not reading books is more detrimental to a greater population. Once again Bush making sure everyone in the US is as stupid as his family.
