The Feds' War on ... Buckyballs!

I'm confused. Are there reports of small children becoming stuck to refrigerators? Next we'll see a new standard for refrigerators that forces manufacturers to retrofit them with fiberglass doors, so that irresponsible parents don't have to worry about their toddlers not being able to get out of the kitchen.

Buckyballs simply did not follow protocol. Had they packaged these with condoms, there wouldn't be an issue.

One would think that the progressive Darwinists would see the swallowing of Buckyballs as natural selection. If you're stupid enough to not only put one in your mouth, but swallow it as well, maybe it's a good thing that you are removed from the gene pool.

The government wants to prove once and for all that you cannot build a business on your own. You have to have their approval first. Of course that comes with a large donation to the lib campaign fund.

The donation comes in the form of lawyer fees. Trial lawyers are among the highest donors to Democrats.

Who are these CPSC people? We should do like the libs, mob their houses, scare their children, and be sure they don't get a wink of sleep.

Michelle, federal regulations are just another tool in Goober's box to reduce business profit, increase unemployment, and destroy the American economy - his end game. Did you hear his recent speech in which he stated, "Our policies are working."? They are working, and if Americans do not wake up before the tipping point is reached, they will awaken one morning to find that all of their assets have been rendered worthless and the one place to get food for their family is from the Obamavan coming soon to a neighborhood near you.

I'm surprised that these guilty children who have swallowed buckyballs have not been jailed or sentenced to life imprisonment. Buckyball swallower today, killer tomorrow. I'm surprised Bloomberg hasn't suggested a law that dictates a parent cannot buy but one buckyball at a time. A full magazine of buckyballs is only necessary for military children. Yeah, you guessed it, this is all a joke about looney liberales.

Or rather, the adults who made Buckyballs available in the house, instead of storing them in locked cabinets where no one would see them. Those are the irresponsible people who should be supervised by Child Protective Services and made to go to reeducation camp.

It's completely unreasonable that the CPSC would try to ban magnets that already have warnings. But Obama has little to do with it. If you want to stop the magnet prohibition, then go sign savemagnets.com, but there's no point in trashing obamacare. If you didn't notice, there's always been socialized healthcare, and it's called the Emergency Room! Anything else, is a step in the right direction.

Right, a step FORWARD into marxist statist tyranny, you seem to resemble those described by Lenin, Jim in Denver, where the unarmed sheeple roam in slavery to the state.

guess that check did not get there otherwise we would never know. so instead, why not talk to amazon and company and demand the product? why not start emailing CPSC and demand respect for small business afer all they are the ones that are about to get a good reaming tax wise....oh and a few letters to the pres. would not hurt either, make the wheel squeak loudly!!!

I was roughing up a block of rosin for my mother's violin bow and the sand paper took a layer of skin off an area of one of my fingers. It smarted. I looked and there was no cautionary label on the sand paper. Do I call the CPSC so they can destroy 3M? Do I call OSHA to shut 3M down? Do I call one of those tacky lawyers who advertise on TV? I'm so confused! Thank God for the Government - they'll take care of me! Won't they?
