I’m thinking Col. Allen West will be a very good Cabinet Secretary of the DoD. Luv the way this guy thinks and he doesn’t pander to anyone.

We just need Conservatives to control the WH, Senate and House. That dream is growing as more and more States are filling their elected positions with GOPs who are right of center at lower levels like City Councils, Mayors, State Legislatures, etc.

Back to topic... junk yards must be full of old cars with lead balance weights on wheels. What about all of the lead weights used by fishermen and duck hunters (for their decoys)? ....Old houses in the 1940s and earlier used lead weights on each side of each window (I grew up in one built in ‘43). ...........Just sayin’ that there are many sources of lead out there, if a person thinks about it...
I don’t see lead availability drying up.

The future Conservative GOP control of Congress should ABOLISH the EPA and Energy depts. for their wasteful spending of taxpayers’ dollars on frivolous projects and regulations. That would also include stoppage of using food (corn) to produce the ridiculous Ethanol and the requirement for low sulfur diesel fuel; both of which are damaging autos, semis and small gas engines.

Sorry for the long rant but thoughts just kept coming as I was typing. I know I got off topic inre LEAD, but the thread just caused me to think about bad regulations.

Almost all the sash weights I have seen were cast iron, not lead. (Not saying they couldn't be lead, just that I haven't seen any--and my house is 101.)
