The sweet, sweet, sweet sound of some hippy chick happily fellating the regulatory meat stick right up to the point where she realizes it's going in her hair
Poor Tiffany. She thinks that people should be required to live the lifestyle she finds "the best" (by agreeing that things should be regulated by the government) and when the law of unintended consequences comes whacking her against her wallet, she all of a sudden is not so sure it's a good idea.
The irony of the situation is that I'm willing to bet she's still all about regulation and telling others how they must run their businesses since people might make the wrong 'choices', she's probably just not happy about this particular law.
For clarity's sake, I think this law was as stupid as laws get. Companies who produce leaded toys already suffer massively when it is discovered and there already are laws to take care of things when that happens. In fact, I'm pretty certain this law was pushed by larger toy manufacturers who this type of testing doesn't hurt as a way to put smaller companies out of business thus increasing their own sales.
I'm also not adverse to purchasing "organic" toys, although the whole organic term is stupid. The funny thing is that I'd purchase that kind of stuff because hand made wooden toys are much more durable than mass produced plastic stuff.
So, I'm not laughing at her for being a hippie but for someone who clearly is all about regulation and is now realizing how messy it's going to get.
I'm not going to wish ill of her or her business. In fact, I would hope this law gets scratched since it's evident it is going to cause more harm than good. However, one would hope that Ms. Bjorlie got a little wake up call about the power of government and how using its power to regulate isn't all it's cracked up to be.
