Breaking News! Is Government Suggesting Shops Bootleg Used Kid's Clothes?

Yesterday the CPSC put out a press release in an effort to stem the tidal wave of protest from Americans across the country about the issue of the impending closure of many kid's resale, consignment and thrift stores, forced by Congress's poorly crafted law, the CPSIA. There was no NEWS! Nothing has changed.

The press release personally insulted my intelligence and offended me as an American taxpayer with valid concerns that remain unaddressed, in public, on television by any of the governmental officials and legislators whose salaries we pay.

We're an intelligent and insightful nation. Apparently Washington thinks we're not very bright. They think this press release will shut us up while they change nothing.

KEEP ON EMAILING, SENDING LETTERS, BLOGGING - PLEASE!

If you want to read the full text of my 'editorial opinion' in response to this latest attempt to shut us all up, I have to write a preface.

We may not share the same taste in music, but then most American's are tolerant of others varied tastes. I happen to be a big David Lee Roth fan of Van Halen fame. When I read this pathetic press release I thought of one of his albums immediately. Thus, the references. Click here to read my full, personal, editorial opinion.
