What NEXT? Teddy Bears made from asbestos?

From the same Chinese that brought you the led paint lickable Thomas The Tank Engine toys, we now have Led paint Dora. What's next for the Chinese? Maybe flammable jammies, kiddies smoke em up cigars, baby cages? (Does anyone recall the Bill Murray SNL skit form the 70's?)

WASHINGTON — Toy-maker Fisher-Price is recalling 83 types of toys — including the popular Big Bird, Elmo, Dora and Diego characters — because their paint contains excessive amounts of lead. The worldwide recall being announced Thursday involves 967,000 plastic preschool toys made by a Chinese vendor and sold in the United States between May and August. It is the latest in a wave of recalls that has heightened global concern about the safety of Chinese-made products.

The Chinese hate Parents and children! I think I can say that, they also do not want me to have any free time, they want me schlepping about town returning toys, spending money on gasoline.

The most recent large toy recall is effecting US AGAIN. Led based paints AGAIN. Is Led paint really that much more inexpensive to use? Where in the hell are folks getting led paint anyway?

First it was Thomas The Tank engine wooden toys. (which btw, are expensive) We had ALMOST EVERY piece.

And now I see Dora is in the mix. GREAT, so my daughter learning Spanish isn't enough, the Chinese want her sick as well. What am I going to do with a sick Spanish speaking child?

I guess there are also Diego, Sesame Street toys in the mix. SO CHECK HERE.

Good luck trying to get photos of what toys are being recalled. There are well over 1 million of these things, and the site is taking forever to load.

WHAT IS ECONOMIC TERRORISM: Let’s here better define ‘economic terrorism.’ First, according to Webster’s, terrorism is: “The state of being terrorized or the act of terrorizing; the use of intimidation to attain one’s goals, or to advance one’s causes.”[4] So, ‘Economic Terrorism’ is the act by any group or state for the sole and illegal purpose of creating economic chaos and collapse as a means of destroying the attendant society, for military, social, political, or religious purposes. This definition is meant to ameliorate certain potential problems in definition. Certainly, Economic Terrorism goes well beyond any simple boycott, embargo, tariff, or trade war between two countries. This would not merely be a case where one country cried ‘foul’ over another’s unfair or even illegal commercial activities. Such actions would have to be shown to be the result of an outright attempt through some malign person or group to create economic chaos meant to undermine the ability of a country to mount a defense or even exist.
