I actually know that song but first verse only.
Also the one about the street car line.
And I was looking back to see

Oh my God. My first double post.
“It seems to me that this is the opposite of the McCain-big-government solution. When someone does you harm you take them to court. If you prove your case you get compensated and the one who did the harm gets the publicity. The free market solution.”
Haven’t you ever noticed that publicity creating lawsuits against Business A often happen just as Business B pushes to regulate it’s competitors? I don’t think they are two separate things; rather, they are part of a single effort.
Maybe it’s a coincidence.
“This is part of an orchestrated campaign. Note that just last week, McCain started pushing to give the FDA jurisdiction over all vitamins.”
I think you may be right. Today I read an article how Chinese herbal medicines are poisonous and kill people.
I just think it's a matter of not allowing them to spin things their way. The lawsuit is not a sign of a need for regulation it is a sign of the system regulating itself IMO.
It’s not the system doing the regulating. It’s the far left envirowacks abusing California’s prop 65 laws to sue us back to the stone age.
I am not familiar with CA prop 65 so I can't comment on how that effects litigation.
thanks decimon
It’s a byproduct of Soylent Green production.
“Chinese herbal medicines are poisonous and kill people”
Most likely only when they are made in China for export to the USA.
The Mateel is an organization in Norvern’ Cauliflornia started by runaway San Fran hippies ~ it has lots of sprouts ~ ALL OF ‘EM LEFTWINGTARD FANATICS ~ here’s a start on this crowd: http://www.mateel.org/nonprofits.php
Unless the flax is planted, cultivated, and harvested without the use of internal combustion engines, PCBs will be detectable in it.
I can’t say that you are wrong, but many ‘supplements’ contain artificially synthesized ingredients, rather than natural substances from once living sources, and that turns the idea of food supplements on it’s head.
Also, much of the fish oil on the market is useless crap from farmed fish that contains almost no value at all.
Coming from a well known leftist organization, Consumers Union, their info is to be disregarded.
“where does baby oil come from?”
Baby Petrolieum wells.
“Unless the flax is planted, cultivated, and harvested without the use of internal combustion engines, PCBs will be detectable in it.”
How so? - Where would the PCB be coming from? - It has been illegal in motor fuels and lubricants since 1971.
PCB usually only comes from contaminated vessels in chem plants.
One must shop wisely. There are testing labs. There are also tons of abstracts available, many reporting either epidemilogical or double blind human experiments.
As to synthetics, that they turn a concept on its head doesn’t mean much to me. There are some synthetics that are demonstrably better than the ‘natural’ alternative.
I really do not need John McCain to help me make those decisions. More important, I don’t need him preventing me from making those decisions.
“There are some synthetics that are demonstrably better than the ‘natural’ alternative.”
Absolutely false!
If it doesn’t have its own nucleotides, it is harmful in its final effect. Loss of methyl groups is the result of taking synthetics of any kind - That’s called Accelerated Aging for those that live in Rio Linda.
