Hey Walt, couldn't we just clear the welfare rolls and start telling people "no work - no eat". Just how much brain power would it take to paint toys. In the old days of lead paint wasn't welfare only to be given for a short time till people found employment? Now it lasts for generations and all the industries have gone elsewhere. Talk about out of balance!

If we built everything that we buy here in the USA we would have to immigrate all of Mexico and south America to handle the overload of work. How many of you want that to happen.
Think about it for minute or so.
Walt

They did one so-called survey a long time ago in Chicago, the results were that Black kids had lower IQ's but white kids didn't they said it was because Black kids ate more of the lead paint. On this one study we have based all of this lead problem and have been removing it from the earth. I would still like to know why it only hurts today's kids but didn't bother any of us older people who grew up with lead in everything.
My IQ's is over 130 (the two tests I took only go that high) Now if I had grown up without all that lead would I be another Einstein. By the way lead was added to gas after WW-II. All the canned food that we ate was soldered together with lead based solder. Our water pipes and sewer pipes were put together with lead. We had lead in just about everything, now its not in anything and the kids have a hard time adding 2 and 2 and we have all these kids on prozac to quiet them down in the class room.
When I went to school that was done with a strap, it cheaper and worked better. sorry to rant on but I just get mad at todays way of teaching and all these things that will kill us all off. Funny the life expectancy has gone way up. Now that is based on the fact that we lead kids are getting older not those lead free young kids of today.

My IQ is 131 so I'm smarter than you. So yours is 130? Sounds like the number they give you for armed forces sign up, they BS a guy into thinking he's in the top 3% of smarties in the country, and then after you sign up (thinking you're going to be a brain surgeon), you're out pounding gravel with your boots like all the rest of the dummies. They all had 130 on their tests too !!!

I was just foolin' .... my IQ is only 125 !!! At least that's what they told me when I signed up. I remember some number well below 100 when I was in high school though .... I think that one was a bit more accurate.

Jay Leno summed it up last night, China is recalling 1,000,000 lbs of lead because it contains toys!, But seriously there was a good show on PBS a while back about China and the one thing that they have the biggest problem with is Pollution. Everything there is so polluted it is increadable, water soil everything! The factory owners are corrupt and so are the officials. The news last night said 97% of Chinese don"t even trust their own food! This whole thing will get worse before it gets better, because that junk has been coming over here for years now and they are just now finding it. Things to avoid are anything made with or from water or even GROWN with water. The water pollution is especially bad there and lead is the least of things to worry about.

About 80% of all toys in the world are made in China. third party image

Jitterbug fishing lures are made in China now.The paint job on them looks odd,could be lead paint.Zebco reels and most fishing rods are China made now.Shrade knives come from China.40 years ago most medium sized towns had a shoe shop.They gave a lot of people steady work.These shops are gone..Furniture factories and paper mills are closing fast here in Maine.Malls selling import goods are being built at a rapid rate.When enough jobs are lost there wont be any money to buy China goods.Small stores are closing here,many small towns have lost their stores here.One store keeper says that all he sells now is beer and cigaretts.Another that runs a well stocked small country store says business is way down.

i think it would be a great idea if every american consumer would look for "Made in USA" toys, tools or whatever products and send a message to the "Land of almost right" that we don't need or want their stinking inferior poisonous products. that way we could get america working again and have decent proven safe products and not worry about what next is recalled.

Years ago people in our area lost a small child caused by lead poison. They never could find out the origin.

I can't understand if the tiny little bit of lead will make babbling idiots out of our children then what happened to us old guys.
We had leaded gas, lead wrapped chewing gum. Leaded paint and lead in just about everything that we used or ate.
Babble, babble, babble Bummer I guess its getting to me now.

I just read something on that. If an adult ingests lead, only about 10% of it stays in the body, but if a young child does the same, about 50% of it stays in developing brain tissue. That's why there has always been so much concern about kids and leaded gas.

I remember another study a couple of years ago centred in upstate New York, tying attention defecit disorder in young children to mothers who claimed to have eaten more than seventy pounds of salmon out of Lake Ontario.

Kids' brains are pretty vulnerable to pollution.

Shoot, I grew up when we had nothin' but leaded gas, but I don't remember EVER tryin' to drink any of it.

I agree that kids' brains are easily polluted, but a lot of that can be stopped by turnin' off the *$%# TV!

I hear ya! I work at a water treatment plant. One of the things we have to monitor the state says "drinking 6 liters a day for 40 years with high levels could cause a higher risk of cancer." The only time it is high is June, July, and August. So that means you would have to drink a gallon and a half for 160 years. Thats some bad stuff now I tell ya.

Just exactly Walt. If it was as bad as they let on most of us wouldn't be able to turn the computer on. I am sure that 175 years of being exposed to it will kill us dead as a door nail. I expect to be gone on by then. You might want to see someone about that babble, babble business.
