I may not be a fan of big government, but a company should not be deliberately marketting products that are toxic and hazardous to children.

This falls under basic consumer safety.


If that was the case then why is Mattel exempt from CPSIA testing?

It's about protecting the pocket book and market share of big corporate toy makers. The mom and pop toy makers and thrift stores are ones being punished here.


They are exempt because they have paid off some politicians to avoid being held to the same rules. Personally I think that politician needs to be brought up on charges if they are currently using their position to shield Mattel.

I guess you live in an alternate universe where this is actually happening.

Does invoking the Holocaust violate Godwin's Law?


Actually, it's called I actually pay attention to what people say or have you missed the lunatic of Iran calling for the destruction of Israel.

Many regulations have nothing to do with protecting the public at large but rather protecting the pocket book of the big corporations. A so called conservative arguing for government intervention? You are one confused fella.

I don't care what puppet president of Iran says and neither should you. Ahmadinejad has no power in his country. Ayatollah Khamenei is the Supreme Leader of Iran and the commander and chief of their armed forces. Iran has no offensive ability as a military power. They have no air force or navy to speak of. All they are worried about is self-preservation.
