I had a big chuckle this morning when I read this post at the Daily Show:

It really hits home how ridiculous some of the provisions of this law are... I'm faxing it to my congressman and to Waxman... LOL

That is a great article - HA HA! Love this line:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The government regs assume alchemy works. Perhaps this is really their secret bailout plan. Locate all the led in dangerous children items so they can turn it into gold!

"The Amish are not trying to kill us. Little old ladies at craft bazaars are not trying to kill us. The people making childrens clothes entirely out of hemp aren't trying to kill us. People with knitting needles aren't terrorists. But the government is treating it that way..."


How true!!! You can have knitting needles on airplanes by the way : )

Everyone!!! Print this out and fax or mail it to Waxman! Just think if his office were flooded with this funny (but true) article!

I particularly liked the analogy that one respondant used:

This is like the police saying "Hey, meth labs are bad. And are illegal. To deal with them, everybody in town must produce a certificate saying "I'm not a meth lab" or get out of town!"

What happens? Those that can afford it pay for the certificate. The meth lab buys a forged certificate. Those that can't afford to prove they're NOT a meth lab have to leave town.

brilliant.
