This is completely unrelated to this post.

But I really think that you should get a facebook. I think you'd like it. You can put these little status updates about what you're doing. (kind of like a mini LJ entry - VERY mini - that takes two seconds). I think you'd enjoy it. And it's a good way to keep up with your online friends. Cause everyone who's anyone has a facebook nowadays. ;)

That's what I'm saying - you never update LJ except once in a blue moon. Facebook would be much more time-efficient for you. Once you set up your facebook, you don't have to do anything. You can just update a status in two seconds. And see what your friends are up to that day. You'd really like it. Trust me on this one! And if you don't, nothing lost by giving it a go.

I know that they need to protect Children from unscrupulous manufacturers but I think that they are being a bit heavy handed there if they are including items that logically can't possibly contain the banned substances. I agree, this seems a bad time to be picking on cottage industries with legislation like this. Hope they find a work-around and are able to stay in business.

(Plus, I'm on Facebook too so if you do get one - let me know!)

Why is the testing at the businesses' expense? That seems to be the problem. If the testing was at government expense, at least for small businesses, surely that would solve the problem.

Snopes just wrote about this, it looks like things may not be as dire as reported. http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/pending/cpsia.asp
