I agree that China will most definitely prosper from this! Wouldn't it make sense to have the materials available to crafters that had the lead content listed? That way we have a CHOICE!!!

Why can't Congress just accept that? Retailers pull the toys when a problem is discovered because if they do not, no one will shop there. Why not let the marketplace regulate itself???

According to her, dolls also get hungry, sleepy, hurt feelings, various illnesses, and sometimes, angry. If a little sweater ameliorates one of more of these conditions, it's worth it.

As far as living wages go, does an auto worker deserve $75 an hour? There's got to be a happy middle ground. Pat.Herve-

They will not be satisfied until the entire nation becomes Dhimmis to their continual grab for power.

Who benefited from the stimulus package of 08 - the chinese - we borrowed money from the chinese to send to people, so that they would buy more cheap chinese crap, and sent the money back to china. All because we do not want to pay living wages here in the US. Johnson,

God forbid that Wal-Mart not receive it's cheap plastic (poisonous) s#!t to distribute to us at low prices, every day.

Of course you would choose that as an example! I make doll sweaters as a hobby and a local shop has been persuading me to sell them there. Guess I'll be okay as long as I don't use Ebay or sell at out-of-state raft fairs.
