These new light bulbs they are shoving down our throats will really expose kids to mercury when one gets broken. Idiots.
Too bad Boehner would not say that. Shame shame shame on them. While Obama attacks the republicans and tries to pin this Obama Depression on them, some republicans are running around the country blaming republicans too.
Mercury? What about the Mercury laden flu vaccines this administration has pushed on the public?
This is a false and misleading statement.
Our children will be exposed to mercury regardless of what we do now or in the future. Mercury exist in nature and has been released in to nature by generations past and will be by our and future generations.
Should mercury be controlled? Yes.
The real question rational people ask is how much mercury should be controlled? (This is the rational question all thinking people ask)
What is the safe level reasonably and economically achievable? Is it 1 part per million or 1 part per billion?
People have been exposed to trace amounts of these naturally occurring chemical and elements for as long as there have been people and our biological systems have found ways to eliminate most of them or found other ways to deal with them below a certain level. This level can be determined for most toxins for the majority of the population. The problem is that the Ecological Radical lobby does not believe there is any safe level for hazardous materials. This is of course a logical fallacy.
The lower you try to take your emissions of hazardous materials from industrial processes the more expensive the processes become until it becomes price prohibitive to produce a product. When you reach that point you have two choices; stop production or move production out of the country.
Guess which happens more often.
