Julie - you are absolutly right. think about how silly it has gotten and what has caused most of the problem. It's all the moronic lawsuits out there. Sadly the only way to protect ourselves from one another is to enact laws. The congress is so bogged down trying to deal with all of that mess that they have no time, nor the inclination sometimes it seems to deal with the real problems. And - heaven help us during an election year if we make any decision that could make some "special interest group" out there mad because they will run to the media who will in turn blow it completely out of proportion and congressman "sitonmylardbutt" might not get elected to another term in office.

The manufacturers aren't going to do anything because of the "product liability" issues so that is why they want congress to tell them what to do. That way they can point to the law and say "our product meets the federal guideline" when they get sued, and you know that there will be some fast buck freddie out there just more than happy to try and make a few bucks.

So - bottom line is - you are absolutly right...... but...... we have backed ourselves into a corner on this type of issue and till someone puts their foot down and says that enough is enough already we are stuck with it. Read Less
