38 years of casting lead bullets, loading, and shooting and I'm still here.
Something else is going to kill me first.

Not the point, though. The chinese know that we don't allow lead in our
toys and toothpaste, and they use it in products exported to us anyway.
They've killed our pets by poisoning wheat gluten, by contaminating it
with chemicals to make it test higher in a primitive protein test.
We've gone well past the point of them trading in good faith, and at
this point, they're exploiting the "most favored trade nation status"
that clinton gave them in exchange for those campaign contributions.

I think it's time we revoke the special deals that clinton gave the
chinese. And I _really_ think that, instead of just saying "wups, sorry
about that" and recalling the items they get caught on, the American
companies who import this tainted crap should get fined into oblivion.

LOL....apparently no one has told you that Bush and the now defeated
Republican Congress have been around for all those years that the
Chinese was shipping this stuff to the USA..

We did it to ourselves....and the only one who will fix the problem is
ourselves.

Try restoring the funding cut by Bush for the inspectors that were
supposed to be checking would be a good first step.
