As a kid, I cast lead soldiers. Mom used to let us play with the Mercury when a thermometer broke. I had a summer job where I cleaned industrial furnace boiler boxes and I’m sure there was all kinds of asbestos around there. Washed my hands with gasoline, turpentine, bleach or whatever would do the job. I’m sure some of that contributed to my change from a liberal kid to a disgruntled old conservative.

Did all those things in Spades, heck everyone did. Used to carry mercury around in bottles, so we could shine up coins. Used lead crystal in our bean shooters as well. This country was a lot more fun before the government got involved in every aspect of our lives.

Wanna bet each temperature increase of 0.01 degree F shifts 1% of the electorate from Dumbocrap to Pubster, and that's why their panties are all in a bunch over the GW boondoggle?
