No, this isn’t a rant about coverage about the Virginia Tech shootings (though feel free to add the talking heads’ stupidity to this thread.) This is about the state of Washington’s decision to ban all PBDEs. Now, whether or not this is a correct thing to legislate I’m not qualified to comment on, but I can make fun of the people quoted in the article.
“Laurie Valeriano, policy director for the Washington Toxics Coalition, an environmental group. ‘It really is a message from Washington state and policymakers that we won’t accept chemicals that build up in our bodies and our children.’”
Okay, so how long before you all die of starvation? Or at least have all your bones break because of osteoperosis?
I have a stoner friend who claims that he knows how to make them, but of course you ask him the next day when he wakes up and he’s forgotten it.
He also claims to have come up with a viable method of traveling faster than light but he forgot that too.
asterion, remember: anyone with an above average IQ does not want to be a spokes person for any group. Coz then they’re hung for the actions of idiots and every group of people has idiots. (My cite is that we have them here on The Dope. If we’ve got em you know they’re everywhere)
All the smart people just get idiots to stand up say things. Human Shields. The point you make is the exact reason I have no respect for the press in general.
