Madness

When are we in the United States going to wake up? First we're held hostage by the Middle East because of our dependence on oil and now we put our health at risk buying cheap goods from China.

First we had the pet deaths and subsequent pet food recalls because of tainted grain purchased from China. Then we have umpteen recalls of children's toys due to lead in the paint. I heard a story this morning that pets are getting sick due to lead poisoning from toys made in China. Now, beads are being recalled because a chemical reaction caused when a child chews on them releases the date-rape drug GHB. This is insanity.

In other news, the dollar has lost even more value.

Wake up, people.
