Lewis Black, my favorite rant comedian, says this.
You have noticed that the Chinese keep sending us toys that have mercury
and lead in them.
This is because they are trying to KILL US!!

I have absolutely NO idea what spurned this on:
Oh oh oh ohoo sheet of china ply
Oh oh oh ohoo sheet of china ply
I could escape this feeling, with my china ply
I feel a wreck without my, sheet of china ply
I hear her heart beating, loud as thunder
Saw the stars crashing
Im a mess without my, sheet of china ply
Wake up mornings wheres my, sheet of china ply
I hear hearts beating, loud as thunder
I saw they stars crashing down
I feel an tragic like an marlon brando
When I look at my china ply
I could pretend that nothing really meant too much
When I look at my china ply
I stumble into town just like a sacred cow
Visions of swastikas in my head
Plans for everyone
Its in the white of my eyes
My sheet of china ply
You shouldnt mess with me
Ill ruin everything you are
Ill give you television
Ill give you eyes of blue
Ill give you men who want to rule the world
And when I get excited
My sheet of china ply says
Oh baby just you shut your mouth
She says ... sh
She says
She says
And when I get excited
My sheet of china ply says
Oh baby just you shut your mouth
And when I get excited
My sheet of china ply says
Oh baby just you shut your mouth
She says ... sh
She says
Oh oh oh ohoo sheet of china ply
Oh oh oh ohoo sheet of china ply
Oh oh oh ohoo sheet of china ply
Oh oh oh ohoo sheet of china ply
Oh oh oh ohoo sheet of china ply

"other than kids"? In 2006, there were approximately 74 million children
under the age of 18 in the US. 28% of that number is age 0-4. That leaves
over 20 million children in this group you seem to want to minimize. How
many million does it take before it's significant in your book?
> And how many kids have _died_ of chewing on lead paint?
I don't know. What's the over/under on the number it will take before it's
a problem? This might have slipped by you, but Lewis Black is a comedian.
His job description includes exaggeration for effect. I suspect the
mortality rate due to lead poisoning in this country is very low. However,
lead's effects on the central nervous system, especially in children, are
well known. I'm not willing to give the Chi-Coms a pass on sending us
lead-tainted toys.

So it is OK if the American importer does not specify or spot check the
safety of the products that it imports? Typically manufactured goods meet
the importers criteria. I strongly suspect that the American importers
sorta looked the other way and or went with the "Don't ask, Don't Tell"
guidelines when the price quotes were received. After being caught it was
easy to blame the Chinese because most people probably believe that American
Importers don't specify how their products are manufactured.

LMAO (that should probably be crying my ass off) ... add politicians, and
teachers educated beyond their intelligence who are more interested in
perks/working the system than teaching, and our kids/country don't have a
chance!

So how many of "us" other than kids do they expect to be chewing on
toys? And how many kids have _died_ of chewing on lead paint?

The old "if it only saves one" argument that has been used to justify
all manner of government micromanagement.

One man's comedy is another man's idiotic alarmism.

Fine, don't. But I suspect that those clever Oriental masterminds
could come up with a better conspiracy than that one.

You keep doing that. Wondering is good for you. As an exercise try
coming up with a criterion other than "how many million". Also find
out what is the major cause of death in children (and make sure that
"children" is defined in a way that excludes those old enough to serve
in the military) and tell us how lead stacks up to that and why we
should divert energy from addressing that to rail at China.

You have a point there, so don't buy from those American Improters that
don't care either.

You'll notice I didn't say "if it only saves one". I'm wondering based on
your comments how many it would take. I'm still wondering.
