Toxic substances in American made products

I can't help comment on a few censored news items, since I was just reading the top 25 censored stories of 2008. The 2009 should be out soon? I hope.

So, the basic problem here is, again, political lobbying and legal bribery has left US businesses to manufacture substandard products with lead in lipstick, mercury in electronics and endocrine disruptors in kids toys.

There was a time in my youth that Made in America was a claim for a superior product.

Industry has successfully removed power from the EPA to regulate their products and there is no one to hold industry to account.

Other countries, especially countries in the European Union are rejecting these products in search for superior, safer products.
