Birth Control Pill Inventor Slams Pill He Created! and other IMPORTANT news

Thought y'all would want to know this. Unfortunately, many people will read this and say, "What, you want me to have all kinds of babies all my life, to save the environment?" and no one will tell them about NFP! NFP works!! It's not easy, but destroying our planet through estrogen doesn't sound very selfless to me...

Also, this is CRAZY:

The federal government passed that wonderful act that was supposed to save us all from lead poisoning from products made in China. Unfortunately, it may (or may not) close every second-hand store in the nation, not to mention all the things stored in warehouses awaiting shipment and sale as new items. There does not appear to be a grandfather clause. The person who opposed it most was forced to resign. I knew our government was corrupt, but now it's becoming extremely obvious, and people don't care enough to notice now, so they can get away with it.

If this law is enforced, every cottage industry in the nation will likely be affected, instead of factories in China. That will lead to Bad Things. Just think about it.

For a better run-down and links than I can give you, check this:

The Common Room

She continues to update this story with links from our government's own site. What you will read should scare you. I hope I'm just being alarmist, but this is totally NUTS. If your kids are running out of clothes, be prepared with back up plans (like friends with older kids).

I imagine at the last minute they'll realize what they've done and undo it somehow, but it will really hurt their credibility, which is shot anyway.

Interestingly, Ron Paul is the ONLY PERSON to vote against this. Ouch.
