Have the higher powerse that be up in Capitol Hall absolutely lost their minds?
I just read this article from the San Jose Mercury news about a new federal law that takes effect February 10th to test all children’s toys, and apparently books for toxic lead and plastic. This means that libraries will have to close their children’s rooms, and remove all the books (700,000 in the San Jose Public Library System alone) and send them off to be tested. My reaction? WTF?
In times of recession and unstable job security, they want to ship off all these books to be tested for no reason? This will put countless bookstores out of business, libraries will take a giant loss of patronage. This is crazy.
You can read the full article here:
Please tell me someone else feels just as outraged as I do.
This is outrageous and – probably purely coincidental though- likely to boost computer games. Would they also close Internet cafes or recall computers and accessories with equal finality?
