It is possible that all the mercury stuff is hype by the liberal crowd.

No, I wouldn't want to play with it, but have as a kid.

We used it to catch fine gold in the pan.

So I wouldn't get all hyper about it.

Now if you were attempting to cook it off with out a retort, you might fall over dead (sooner or later).

Mercury is heavy and you can see where it goes, it does not travel in the air unless you build a fire under it.

I considered the evacuation to be a Sierra Club new law, not a reason for fear.

Mercury is a liquid metal, not a powder.

Not something I would want your daughter to be handling, but not a danger, if she does not touch it.

why would some teacher be ordering liquid mercury?
