I was not happy to read about the high level of bromine and chemicals in children's car seats and reading the gases created when heat and light is combined with these chemicals which are harmful to, not only the health of the child, but the other people in the car.

I have concern about the chemicals that the LAW says must be applied to all new mattresses on which we spend 1/3 of our lives. What is used as a fire retardant in them and what does it do to us?

What does the heat from our bodies do with these chemicals? And breathing them constantly for 6 to 8 hours every night of our lives.

My gut feeling was not good when I learned that news. I do not want to buy and sleep on more chemicals. Why should I? I do not smoke, light fires and cook meals on my bed.

PLEASE FOX, LET US KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE BEING FORCED TO SLEEP ON SO THAT WE CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

I am sure everyone has read that the "new and efficient" light bulbs contain mercury and that if one breaks there are rules on what to do, like get out of the room????!!! Not only they are being made into a law, taking the choice of what kind of light bulb we want to use away from us. And the fact that ALL of them are made in China.

Oh, I did check with the people working at our local recycling center. They are aware of the danger TO THEM of the long fluorescent bulbs but have not been told anything about the small ones. Whether long or small, a danger is a danger is a danger.

Can you imagine that instead of going to darkened back streets to buy illegal drugs in the near future, they will be making a fortune selling incandescent light bulbs and mattresses without chemicals? And other natural items, or items American made? Wonder what the fines/jail time will be for the buyer and seller.

Sound silly? Not as silly as all of us allowing government to take away more and more freedoms of choice from us. Plus, it ticks me off that chemical companies are making a fortune - for our health or screw our health for their profit ....

The camel that broke the straw's back happened today when even though I  have not chewed gum for about 15 years, I thought it would be fun. I could not find a gum that was all chemicals, artificial flavors, and artificial sugars. All that give me a headache. All these chemicals really concern me.
