| Anonymous Coward User ID: 690753 United States05/30/2009 01:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I checked out the list. Quoting: DecksurfStuff made in China, lead in zippers . All looks scary for kids. Are you condoning more government control over our lives? Don't you think it's bad enough? Can't you see this is an attack on barter itself? It's bad enough that they're going after the home gardener, the person trying to sell raw milk, or raw honey or raw almonds... Yea, there's just not enough control... The more laws to force you into their system the better...right? This to me, appears to be an all out war....and they're gonna lose. |

User ID: 687974 United States05/30/2009 01:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We should start having our own courts on the politicians that break the constitutional laws. I mean just like they do some drug king pin. Take all their assets and throw them in jail, and have some cop kick the crap out of them while they are on their way to jail. I knew that sooner or later they were going to forbid anyone from a bartering system. After all, as a Christian, the bible says we will have a one world system. And it sticks in our face today like a hot fire stick. Good post OP! |

User ID: 362931 United States05/30/2009 01:26 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So then I put it at the curb to be taken to the landfill. Some person in need of such item picks it up and takes it home to use it. It is still unsafe, but now you have no control over being able to caution the person. You cannot donate the item because they cannot sell it. So either you have to take it to the dump yourself, or the government will have to have a buy back program. Just crazy. |

I once put out an unwanted deep freezer that worked, it just wasn't big enough, as I had bought a larger one.. Well, I set it out next to the road and expected someone to pick it up, but they didn't....So I put a "FOR SALE 50$" sign on it...it was gone the next morning. |

User ID: 689231 United States05/30/2009 01:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | “Ignorance of the law is not an excuse,” warns a 27-page Consumer Product Safety Commission resellers’ handbook, released this month. Quoting: maluBeen hearing this more and more in the last 5 or so years. Unfortunately, their are so many laws. its easier just to ask what you can do....which isnt much. Many times, you can find laws that counter act the law youve broken....its just a pain in the ass to find. They have the power to create reality I could explain it better but I would need charts, graphs and an easel. By the way....which ones pink? |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 684295 United States05/30/2009 01:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is so stupid. Whatever happened to "Let the buyer beware"? The manufacturer should be the only one with any responsibility. As to lead in zippers.... When I was a kid we played with lead fishing weights. Lead was in most paint. The fear of this stuff is overkill. We also played with little balls of mercury from broken thermometers. And no one died. No one became metally retarded. More overfear control crap. |

Those books are a lot better than some books you can get nowadays. vaccinefreehealth blogspot com The risk far outweighs any benefit as the risk will vary from child to child. facebook.com/graphixyourway |
