1) Toy maker sells toxic products because they are slightly cheaper to make than safe toys
2) Toxic toy maker's market share increases due to its successful cost/price strategy
3) Children are injured or die after playing with toxic toys
4) Market responds to utterly pointless injury and death by rejecting toxic toy maker's products in favor of safer toys
5) Everyone benefits! Well, everyone except the victims and their parents, but the market doesn't favor special interests
See? You liberals just don't get it.
Bombay might now be Mumbai, but for many they will never be one and the same says Stanley Stewart
When Indians dream of a golden city where their lives will be transformed, they dream of Bombay. When they hop freight trains away from the mud and the cows and the restrictions of caste and family, they head for Bombay. It is the gateway to all possibilities. Delhi may be the political fulcrum, Calcutta may enjoy greater cultural gravitas, Bangalore may be the new IT capital, but Bombay is indisputably India’s first city. Not only is it the nation’s economic powerhouse – accounting for almost 40% of the country’s tax revenue – it is the home of Bollywood, whose glamour dazzles every stratum of Indian society.

"A seminal[5] study by Swan et al. published in 2005 reported that human phthalate exposure during pregnancy resulted in decreased anogenital distance among baby boys later born, a change that in rodents exposed to phthalates is associated with genital abnormalities. In this study phthalate metabolites were measured in urine samples collected from pregnant women. Upon birth, the genital features and anogenital distance of these women's babies were measured and correlated with the residue levels in the mother's urine. Boys born to mothers with the highest levels of phthalates were 7 times more likely to have a shortened anogenital distance.[6]"

and then note Republicans, like Bu$h, are pushing for our children to be exposed to these toys.
Anything to make a quick buck, right? Maybe Republicans are trying to make more intersexed children so they can then use them as scapegoats or stone them for betraying their strict Levitical Codes?
That's all republicans are about.
For only the second time I agree with the Bush administration. (1st time was expanding daylight savings time)
It'd be nearly impossible to enforce.
Toxic toys, good for the health industry, doctors, drug companies and the insurance companies. who needs to be healthy anyway.
Tis the season...
And in these hard economic times, those little guys need all the help they can get while awaiting adoption.
Great call on your part! :)
When we were kids me and my brother would spend the early evenings with other kids in the back yard playing catch with those metal tipped Lawn Darts before we headed inside to munch on a big bowl of lead paint chips while sitting in front of the new RCA color tv that emitted enough radiation to sterilize every male in the room. Then we'd sleep in jammies that would ignite if you passed within ten feet of the non-vented gas heater in the living room.
It's a wonder that we made it to adulthood.
commenting.
"Julie Vallese, a spokeswoman for the safety commission, says her agency is committed to protecting children from dangerous chemicals. But she says the agency has to carry out the law as it's written. New safety standards, she says, have never applied to items produced before those standards go into effect.
"The authors of the legislation should have done their homework," Vallese said in an e-mail. And although Falvey had no comment, Vallese notes that Falvey is a "career" government employee, not a political appointee. "Senator Boxer should know better than to attack the hard work and dedication of career employees."
I can't believe how uninformed you people are!!!
I don't think they are thinking even about profit, though, simply how much they hate Liberals and hope it is Liberal children that are the ones poisoned. It makes zero sense, except for the dogmatic anti-liberal agenda. They are willing to risk their own children to strike back at us. Many times, I think they know the Liberals, the left is morally ahead such as the lying war against the Muslims and Arabs, but rather be governed by their own hatred than by morality are must therefore twist their arguments to prove they are morally superior. Not that any of them truly believe it. Sometimes when I hear them accuse Obama of being a Socialist, I think, I think what they mean is Northerners (damn Yankees) are Socialist since they all hate Northerners. Almost 150 years after the Civil War and they still want revenge for losing that war.
