Read all about it The fruit loops are out to scare us to death yet again; a democrat has sounded a "the chemicals are killing us! the chemicals are killing us!" alarm bell. They are citing the presence of flame retardants and plastics in umbilical cords as evidence of our poisoning. The final word by Ms. Slaughter, a Democrat (quelle surprise) after having her own blood tested for the presence of chemicals: "I have auto exhaust fumes, flame retardant chemicals, and in all, some 271 harmful substances pulsing through my veins. That's hardly the picture of health I had hoped for, but I've been living in an industrial society for over 70 years." I have big news for Ms. Slaughter; if she hadn't lived in an industrial society for 70 years, she would have lived to about 35. Maybe 40. Why doesn't Ms. Slaughter travel to Iberia, Nigeria, or other non-industrialized societies for a peak at what it's like not to have clean bottles for her babies, or flame resistant housing and bedding. Or let's send her back in time to see what it was like 200 years ago, without flame retardant and clean baby bottles. She likely would not have survived even ONE year, never mind 70 of them. At least then she'd be dead before she could open her big fat uneducated idiotic mouth and cause everyone who is now living to RECORD LEVELS OF LONGEVITY to pass laws to restrict the creation of clean baby bottles and flame resistant homes and threaten our lives, just as the eradication of asbestos is an undisputed cause of hundreds of deaths in the WTC second tower. Let's slaughter Slaughter before she slaughters US!
