An important note. The use of flame retardants, for *safety*, is now being questioned over *safety*.
In other words, the government trying to help children ends up hurting children. This implies that maybe children would have been better off being left alone in the first place.
EPA is a runaway agency that ignores the Constitution. It should be dismantled.
Oh! The schools are dominated by those who benefit by scaring the population!!
How about if we just abolish the EPA- Environmental Protaction Agency, or just rename it the ERA- Environmental Rape Agency-and get another step along into turning America into a third world country..
We can use our tax dollars to build cardboard shacks, shantytowns, Bushvilles, or Clinkstonetownes...If you still have that entrepeneurial spirit, invest in cardboard-like a Paper company stock..We can use the stock certificates to line our cardboard walls and pretty them up...oh yeah, and let our tax dollars pay for free health and veterinary care so the poor and their pets can stay healthy so they can realize how well off they really are.../s
Actually, the EPA’s failure to protect our children is pretty pathetic...it just makes a mockery of that agency’s name.......pathetic...
I guess she's never seen the "male enhancement" commercials... Or the "grow hair" commercials with our secret ingredient goo... It's sold, it's B.S.
No accountability on her part... Nanny government should take care of her and her children...
What happened to if you aren't certain something is safe for your child, not to do it? Use your own evaluation based on intelligence and research and if YOU are not satisfied DON'T DO IT. With the Internet it couldn't be easier to research something.
Ultimately it is up to individuals to decide what is acceptable risk for the reward.
Here’s the harsh reality - roughly half of the people alive today are too stupid to fend for themselves let alone protect their offspring.
Evolution has been turned on its head by society and its machinations, restrictions, proscriptions and prescriptions.
What that leaves us with is a nation made up of one-third very clever people who know full well that the real limitations of eliminating risk is an impossible task and one-third of the total who see through the smoke with the remaining third being the first ones in the voting booth.
It is precisely this that Sir Francis Galton (Darwin’s cousin) warned us against and Darwin, himself, acknowledeged.
We now find ourselves in the peculiar position of being able to measure elements and compounds down to 1PPQ and then labeling them harmful if we ingest a gallon jug of them.
Anyone who thinks these dedicated reformers will go away when the truth of scientific examination lays waste to their scares needs to stay tuned until it really gets weird.
Well how many knowledgeable “scientists” does the Journal think exist in these specialized areas that don't have a job in the field of their expertise???
Duh!
What about all the things made in China? How much of that is safe?
I bought a bunch of candy for Easter eggs and baskets, and my husband looked at where they were made and half the stuff was made in China. We threw a bunch of it out.
It’s bad enough to have lots of toys made in China, but now the food we eat is made over there. I don’t like that our country doesn’t regulate that more.
Your first mistake is to assume that the EPA is there to protect us from the environment. It’s always the other way around.
The law was changed after some tragic cases of burned children. In nearly every case, the children had gotten hold of lighters or matches and started the fire.
Since there were no smokers in my house, we didn't keep lighters or matches where children could get them. I wondered if the risk from the chemical exposure from sleeping in those pajamas every night may have been greater than the risk of fire.
It turns out that you can buy cotton pajamas for kids. But they have to be called long underwear or something similar. The company has to state that they are not intended for sleeping.
