This is how they are protecting us? Priorities, go figure. That is politics at its best: today, before the Annversary, no one is going to feel strongly either way about... thermometers. THe easiest way to get your agenda through.

When I was a kid, one of my older brothers first introduced me to mercury. It was fun to play with, almost magical....Kids in school, labs etc..., played with it.

The dentists put it in our teeth fillings.....

I think where the problem lies is we elect ignorant people who can't hold down real jobs.

Might as well use their logic and ban copper, after all it's poisonous too. Can kill rather quickly....that is the proper Compound of copper

Some elements are harmless but their compounds deadly. Maybe they need to tell all us older people with mercury in our teeth we're dead as of years ago.

Mercury wont even dissolvwe in water.....

This is just like those new 'Hardly effective' 2/3/4 gallon toilets.Of all the possible things to ban.Why am I not surprised at the stupidity of our elected officials?Eventually, the whiners (Libs) won't have anything left to complain about,because everything will have been banned,in the name of 'Conservation'.Please spare me.
