It made me believe that reading that warning might cause me to get

Do you get cancer from power cords in Texas?

I thought that was funny. Do folks in Kalifornia swear off electricity due
to the cancer causing properties of power cords? How moronic.

NO! People in California are especially susceptible to cancer as they
have had a lot of stuff shove down their throats for so many years.
Their immune systems are severely compromised.

A lot of places are doing that or just not dealing with anyone in
California. I am sure that Californians don't pay any attention to warning
labels anymore. A perfect example of crying wolf. They have labeled so much
stuff as being bad for you that legitimate warnings are likely being ignored
since everything down there will kill you.

Who would come to their aid?

You might get cancer traveling into the state.

I'm sure most ignore it, too, but the cost involved has to be paid by

And they wonder why their state is in debt.
I just think HW approach is hilarious, everthing we sell causes cancer
and we're not even going to evaluate the levels of exposure.

The sad part was I was looking at C clamps and saw the warning and

Yep, Jay celebrates stupidity. It is hard to watch. I was always a history
buff, so historical questions would be easy for me. But some of those folks
are so ignorant and incapable of the most simple logic. I remember one girl
who was asked, "When was the war of 1812"? She couldn't figure it out.
Another historical mystery, who fought the civil war? She answered,
England! How did these people get through school? I remember one
particularly stupid women who couldn't figure out what planet she was on.
Her job? Elementary school teacher! We are doomed.

Not to mention that Californians brought you the B-2, F-22, C-17, the first

You're all barking up the wrong tree.

It's easy to blame the current admin, but after reading the Ron Paul
book the case for Gold it is clear that this goes way back.

It's been going on in the US since before we were a country.
The most egregious thing that occurred in recent time is when Nixon took
us off the Gold Standard and money no longer meant anything. Inflation
(printing of money basically) went off the charts. This occurred in 1971
and in 1976 was made law.. Before that it was against the law...
History shows that every time politicians decided to put aside gold
transfer, or to print money that didn't match our gold reserves, we
created havoc. The book is a historical walk through very sordid
affairs. I have lost all respect for our banking system, which seems to
cheat the common man out of money over and over.

As far as modern times Nixon really F'd us up. From there it was a
slippery slope, but we were already screwed.

Hoping you are saying that with tongue in cheek. ;~)
15% interest rates are only good for the wealthy that have more money
that they will ever spend. High interest rates are the way the
government deals with out of control inflation.

Unfortunately, you have $1000 earning 15% interest per year. At the end
of the year your $1150 will now only buy what $900 would have bought 1
year prior.

That was an exaggerated example but high interest rates only attempt to
help your money keep its value.

If you think the screwer is the Fed (the "Federal Reserve", not the
Federal Reserve Bank), you are not paying attention. Although, they
deserve some of the credit, in recent years, for articially keeping the
Fed Funds Rate (the rate that commercial banks can borrow at)so darn
low, which tranlates into 1% rates on CDs, etc.
