But it's for the children!

The law has apparently turned a family book store lady into a criminal. Good work, idiots.

And for you moonbat trolls - sooner or later the nanny state will find a way to turn you into a criminal too (if you aren't one already).

Additional regulation and banning of pretty much anything should always be a last resort.

HOLY FERINHTH 451 BATMAN ITS DEMACRATIC DONKEY STUPDIDY. Forget burning books burn a demacrat instead

but...but...but...it's for the children! Who cares if their parents are destroyed.

This entire 'lead' thing is so off the map.

I, and tens of thousands of other electronic workers, have handled lead based solders for decades. We breathed in the fumes generated from soldering connections, also for decades. I have found no credible medical studies on our popluation class showing physical ailment from it. None.

Yet, now we are to believe that the mere presense of lead in the ink on a printed page is going to kill our children or make then ill? Once again, how about all of us old adults that have read and handled thousands of books and newspapers over our lifetime? Why aren't we all dead or institutionalized (for lead that is ;-) ). "Burn the libraries before they kill again!!"

This is the typical blind, over-the-top, full religious fervor, zero tolerance insanity of people of low intelligence doing a witch hunt on us. There appears to be no limit to the stupidity they will go to, to provide a cacoon of safety around everyone guaranteeing zero harm. Yeah. Sure. Bound to work. It's a law isn't it? Must work. They said so.

The Obamasburg Address

Washington DC

February 12, 2009

Three weeks and two days ago our community organizers and voter fraud operatives brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Socialism, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created to be subservient to their government.

Now we are engaged in a great class war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave up their individual liberty that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate - we can not consecrate - we can not hallow - this ground. The gullible voters, living and dead, who were bamboozled here, have consecrated it, far above the diminished power of the people to detract.

The media will little note, nor long remember what we are actually doing here, nor will it ever admit what they did here. It is for us the powerful centralized government, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so fraudulently advanced.

It is rather for us, the ones we have been waiting for, to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us - that from these uneducated, unskilled masses we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolve that these useful idiots shall not have voted, however many times, in vain - that this nation, under Me, shall have a new birth of HopenchangeTM - and that government of the lobbyists, by the politically-connected, for the career politicians, shall not perish from the earth."

(Yes Barry and the Media are now trying to push the idea that President Hussein is the second Lincoln - WHAT an out rage to Lincoln - Barry isn't worth a patch on Abe Lincoln's A$$!)

Well, you know, those pre-85 books had a lot of bad stuff in them anyway. God-stuff, patriotic-stuff, mother-father-stuff, traditional family-stuff... all stuff the 'new world' considers dangerous and mind-controlling.

Best get rid of it all since we are starting a new age of socialism.

I hope those d**kheads DO burn them and concentrate whatever lead into mind-numbing fumes for them all to inhale around the bonfire.

How many of the old books were under public domain? It might be a good idea to reissue some of the better ones for home libraries, either as lead-free books or Kindle files
Compass Books is a good place to start. Here is a link to their section for children http://www.booksonline.com/bookclubs/bol/splash/cbomc/

I'm a little shocked no one has mentioned that the burning targets books published up until 1984.

Perhaps someone should inform the brain trust that "devouring a book" is a metaphor. No one actually eats books, so don't worry about any lead. This is the literary equivalent of global warming - a naked attempt to stir up hysteria to achieve political ends.

This is so transparent it's painful. When did political correctness start being mandated in books? And when is the cutoff point for not selling certain books? Hmmm...what a coincidence.

No one...ZERO...has been hurt from lead in book print. This is such a sham. At least in Russia, they were direct about it. Here, it's "all about the children". Yeah...it sure is. They'll make sure these "children" never know anything but what they want them to.

When will they start coming into our homes, saying "sorry, those family photos have to go. The silver halide in the paper could be BAD FOR THE CHILDREN. And sorry, but ALL BIBLES, no matter when they were printed MUST BE BURNED. But don't worry. It's for THE CHILDREN."

Live free or die, baby.

Faranheit 451.

Farenheit 451.

I may start posting here as Montag from now on.

"Monday, we burn Miller; Tuesday, Tolstoy; Wednesday, Walt Whitman; Friday, Faulkner; and Saturday and Sunday, Schopenhauer and Sartre.

We burn them to ashes and then burn the ashes. That's our official motto."

Ray Bradbury had it right.

I got the "Fahrenheit 451" as well. I read the book in junior high and I was amazed at how prescient it was.

"Book burning: One of the few traditions moonbats won't oppose."

Of course not; it's one of their traditions.

Right Arthur...even if the smoke contributes "greenhouse gases" to the Global Climate Chaos Crisis". After all...priorities ARE priorities.

BURN A MOONBAT NOT A BOOK

hmmmmm....I guess we're gonna have to burn those old lead filled documents called "The Constitution" and "The Bill of Rights"....but I guess thats the idea anyway

I take issue with chuck here. Nobody said anything about death. Dying from lead exposure is possible but hardly what is being addressed with this bill.

Can you name me ONE study that your found not credible chuck?

In many cases lead is built up slowly over time and can lead to lower IQ. Thus using your own exposure to it as evidence is unscientific.

I believe that this bill has serious problems, but I do not think it is because lead is not a health problem.

You realize that entire classes of people may become a bit more stupid because of where the wind blew leaded gasoline exhaust. Lead in paint, on toys, and yes even on children's books. Its something worth considering.

I would think people against moonbattery would pick up on that.

Anyway, I doubt that lead is harmless. Another thing I constantly see left out of discussions is that one chemical does not stand alone. It can work with other chemicals, with a whole host of other factors to produce a detrimental effect on a human being. You need to stop looking JUST at each chemical on its own, and start talking about how someone's entire exposure can also lead to problems. Problems that for a developing fetus, child, or teen can be greater than that on an adult.

Get the facts and make up your own mind. But critique his bill for what it is, a harsh demand for expensive testing that will leave production to only those who can afford such testing.

Critique this bill for banning lead that does not cause people to be exposed to it. Regulate how that lead ends up, how the product is labeled, how it is recycled. You can't just dump it in the environment look away.

I've read countless stories about "it won't hurt you" one I recently read was about the radium painters in the watch and "glowing" product industries. In many cases it was shown that the engineers and companies knew that radium was a health risk but spent their resources covering up that fact. And serious health problems occured which they then spent great resources denying they had any fault for. A great evil might have been perpetrated there, but the all the facts are not known, since many people died before a civil case could work its way through the courts. They died.

Nobody is talking about death from lead. They DO talk about lower IQ which means lead can cause you to become incrementally more and more stupid.

Whoops, mispelled my user name there!

Anyway, to Frank who thinks people are calling for burning of the constitution and bill of rights. I think that I would love to be able to get close to these documents and hold them in my gloved hands. But it would really suck if I was exposed to the lead they might contain, thus I would take precautions with that like any sane human being should. I would not burn them because my experience tells me that fumes and ashes might just move the lead somewhere else, and that might not be the best way to proceed.

If any of you hear about mandated burning of lead containing books I sure would like to hear about such moonbattery with a specific reference. Otherwise, I'm just going to file it away as propaganda or satire and that learning about issues and deeds in the world around me is best sought elsewhere.
