SPOKANE, Wash. – The quest for squeaky-clean dishes has turned some law-abiding people in Spokane into dishwater-detergent smugglers. They are bringing Cascade or Electrasol in from out of state because the eco-friendly varieties required under Washington state law don't work as well. Spokane County became the launch pad last July for the nation's strictest ban on dishwasher detergent made with phosphates, a measure aimed at reducing water pollution. The ban will be expanded statewide in July 2010, the same time similar laws take effect in several other states.

This freaking ticks me off. Damn liberals.
Keep electing lefties, you fools. You’re going to end up living in grass huts and digging roots.

Please include those lame faucet aerators with these. We recently had to replace our bathroom sink faucet. I wish that I’d had the foresight to save the old aerator. With the new one, it could take several minutes to fill a glass of water. I noticed that I can’t even defeat this by enlarging the orifice plate. It now has a fine sintered porous plug instead.
I bet the non-phosphate liquids work very well when washing dishes by hand.
I believe they are trying to reduce the phosphates that go down the drain. Perhaps washing by hand may work?
Wait I can make money smuggling soap?!?
I can do that!
Is it any wonder the damn dirty hippies are opposed to soap?
When cascade is outlawed, only outlaws will have cascade. :)
Follow the money. Check the portfolios of the pols who ban products in favor of others.
Forget ammo, start stockpiling Cascade!
