Maxfield & Oberton, the makers of Buckyballs and Buckycubes, reinforced their adult-aimed marketing efforts and further clarified the warning labels on thier products in light of some injuries to children. Not good enough for the Consumer Products Safety Commission, which is trying to shut them down. The company is fighting back, which is a good thing.
Not only do our overlords hate freedom, they hate prosperity, too. They are orchestrating the decline of our country. M&O made $25 million last year. It has eight full-time employees. A true success story, particularly heartening in these time of planned economic deterioration. It provides a living to a sales force of 200, as well as small retail establishments around the country.
The regime can't have that. What is particularly insidious about the way it wields its evil power is that it couches its reasons for doing so in do-gooder rhetoric.
Don't fall for the feigned pity of the overlords. See yourself as a responsible adult who, were you to go out and buy a set of Buckycubes, would have the good sense not to let some toddler put them in his or her mouth. Let the jackboots know you see yourself that way.
The free market (trial lawyers) will take care of the safety hazards. But wait, you have been crying out for tort reform too for over 40 years. Get er done now!!
ReplyDeleteOh, please. Trial lawyers are not free-market proponents. They are opportunists who use leftist arguments (private economic activity is evil) to win big judgements for themselves & their clients.
ReplyDeleteI fight them in my work all the time, am actually in favor of tort reform but I haven't seen much of since it first became a topic of some considerable concern with the med malpractice crisis in this country in the mid 70s but, really not much has been accomplished in the past half century in that regard. In fact, it's gotten worse. But, really, what could be more free or more American than a gold rush? Wherever there is $$$ (from ins or government or the casono, etc.) there are hoards grubbing for it. Can you infringe upon their freedom of speech in billboard and mass media advertising or their freedom of commerce? Are you going to abrogate common law going back Centuries before our country was "civilized" (and I use that term loosly)?
ReplyDeleteand my wife has dealt extensively with both the CPIC (which she detested) and trial lawyers (ditto) in her work as the infant car seat spokesperson for Cosco now Doral. YOu realize a Republican signed the bill creating the CPIC don't you? Perhaps we can find some common ground here, but that may be far too reasonable a statement to make in this blogosphere. Like your beloved free market health care coverage, what's been in place for so long is not going away easily. Fight fight fight, or finesse finesse finesse. Essentialy debate vs. war, and you usually are at least full of battle cries. The alternative is idiocy and weakness, I know. It's all gonna take more time than you gave Obama and certainly more time than the so-called hard left and likely even the independents are going to be willing to give your camp, but we'll see. I heard some talk jock (and of course they are All right wing) state that Romney will have two years to accomplish his goals. He will be very lucky if he does because, well, you know, there are going to be as many hard feelings from your opposite camp as you have had for the past 4 years, beginning just after you felt that sinking feeling swiftly followed by rage 3 and 3/4 years ago when you awoke to the news that Obama had won. You blamed McCain,virtually canonized Palin who, as you know, was just very publicly demonized by one of your preemptive heroes of another day. Come to think of it was another doller back when up until the last 4 mos. when it all came tumblin' down but of course it's still Obama's fault.
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot wrong about Obama but the continual carping from your camp from before Day I has got to have turned more than just me OFF.
We carp because the current occupant of the oval office has been a hard-core revolutionary socialist since childhood, and because he is but the most concentrated form of what the Democrat party has been about since 1972.
ReplyDeleteWe carp because it's not okay with us that a confluence of cultural and politica forces is working tirelessly to eradicate freedom, decency, dignity and common sense from american life.
