What really gets me is when you read warning labels and realize that many of the warnings were added AFTER someone died doing something stupid and the lawyers for the company now had to advise putting that language in the literature...
...stuff like "don't use (any random plugged in electrical equipment, let's say a blender or toaster just for shits/giggles) in the shower/bathtub"...
Dammit, I want to go back to the days of lead based paint and sharp toys that could choke a bitch. We survived those in childhood therefore we earned the right to pass on our genes.
Amen. I also want to get back all of the "dangerous" playground equipment. They took away all the fun stuff!
But actually, speaking of lead-based paint, I read an article that libraries and used book stores may be facing a crisis because many of their older children's books may contain lead-based paint. So whole collections of books might be thrown away because they could be harmful, and that just makes me want to cry.
