I think our government would cover it up if they knew someone died.

It will come up in the next election cycle. Some dem candidate will say a senior citizen died because she could only afford to eat dog food because her prescription drugs were so expensive.

My kids are playing outside in some nice, wholesome dirt.

“I still think this is overreaction here.”

We disagree.

Giving toxic or harmful things to kids is a bad idea. Kids, even older kids, will surprise you with their ability to be stupid.

Now if you, as an adult, want to buy lead to grind up and put in your food, I’m ok with that. If you want to drink drano... I’m ok with that too. If you’re informed, and you make that choice, as an adult, ok.

The democrats are already picking up on it and the only republican who has been talking about it is being ignored in favor of RINOs.

There is a lot of overreaction here, mollynme. Not so much because of the recall, but because of people fearing for their kids lives because they might have touched lead.

Not to mention how this fits the Chinaphobe template.

I have a couple of these but they are all chewed up. Think they’ll take them back? Rocky and Ruby are tough on toys.

Wow, amazing... I’m guessing that your character is much like Hillary!’s. Did you know she’s always been Yankee fan?

I bet she’s been a whole lot happier being a Yankee fan than being a Brown’s fan!
