New Legislation....isn't easy to come up with.... Well actually it is. Good legislation isn't easy to come up with. Examples: how about a Rep in Florida who recently proposed pink license plates on the cars of anyone convicted of DUI. Hmmm. I'm sure Nathaniel Hawthorne would approve. And then there are the four Massachusetts legislators who introduced a bill that would soften the crime of bestiality, a move pro-family activists say is a natural progression of the state's legalizing same-sex marriage. Alrighty then. Let's let Anna Bloviation's jump into the fray: I am thinking of legislation that would protect manicurists and pedicurists. Oh quit chortling; this is serious. Women in this profession are usually in their twenties and thirties i.e. their child-bearing years. They sit eight hours a day in poorly ventilated, enclosed salons breathing in some pretty nasty, toxic stuff called nail lacquer and nail polish remover and don't even know it...
Of course we are all doing that to some extent. The cosmetic industry is grossly negligent in testing its products for safety says the FDA and EWG and the risks and ramifications threaten to spill over to all cross sections of the consumer market as specializied products are marketed to not only women but the metro men crowd and designer baby playgroups. It's time to start cracking the whip on the mostly unregulated cosmetic industry.
