There is some “old school” we should never compromise. I buy no clothes that I cannot touch, and maybe try on.

The reality of “Little House on the Prairie” is that they lost the only son they had at 9 months. I felt this child could have been saved until Laura's daughter Rose had a similar child who died at 12 days.

Now I think the family carried cystic fibrosis. There is no confirmation of this. It is personal observation and the scant information of how the children died. Both were boys and were the only boys.

There are no other children from the family.

I wanted to dig into the background of the other members of the family, such as the Ingals. I met several of them now living in Iowa. Decided not to.

Any other researchers out there?

Wanted the Government to do something...

Question: As a Baby Boomer; “How the he** did we survive childhood without this legislation?”

Question: As a Baby Boomer that has adult children; “How the he** did they survive childhood with a 3 year tour in the FRG and a 2 year tour in USFK without this legislation?”

Answer: As a Healthy 60 year old Baby Boomer; “The Stinking act is not fracking needed. Repeal it ASAP!”

Not me thanks, I don't want to go back to the “good ole days”. Two weeks without electricity, phone, Internet, TV, A/C, gas pumps and ice after Hurricane Ike and I was cured of all those old romantic notions.

Americans have accepted federally mandated low-flow showerheads and 1.6 gallon toilet tanks.

Why shouldn’t they accept bans on second-hand children’s clothing?

Same loophole as a used mattress. You sell the metal frame and give them the mattress.

This is a way to make people spend more money, thus keeping China and other turd world hell holes employed.

Look for the union label
When you are buying a coat, dress or blouse.
Remember somewhere our union's sewing
our wages going to feed the kids and run the house,
We work hard but who's complaining.
Thanks to the I.L.G. we're paying our way.
So, always look for the union label,
it says we're able
to make it in the U.S.A.

And...Today, with modern aggressive medicine, children with the serious disease of Cystic Fibrosis often live into adulthood.

>>>>>The ingredients and the final product could come from anywhere.... catfish from China for example could literally kill you<<<<<<

We see eye-to-eye on this, the poisoning of the American food supply (and that includes vitamins and “health foods”) continues unabated.

Speaking of catfish, in the last year or so I saw a news report about the fish farms in China.

The “fish pond” was in fact a black sludge pool, you could clearly see this because there were people waist-deep in the charcoal-grey muck pulling fish from the “water” and throwing them into baskets.

That same report then noted that many of these sludge pools (aka “fish farms”) are loaded with buckets full of ***human contraceptive pills*** because they somehow make it easier for the fish to breath in these disgusting black waters. There was even a video shot of a newly-drained “pond” and there were thousands of little pills visible in piles at the bottom.

I’ve read recently that the food and drug controls inside domestic China are even WORSE than what is foisted on the world export market.

Really, any Chinese businessman involved in these food scandals should be executed, given the lives they deliberately and knowingly endanger.
