We have similar (and worse) bans in this country; but, that clip ought to be required viewing for anyone who decides on legislation. At some atomic level, I am beginning to think that banning certain items is done because, natch, when your parents told you they disapproved of your boy/girl friend, you loved them up and down all the most. Forbidden fruit tastes sweetest, right?<BR/><BR/>I'd like a blue gorilla for my roof for Christmas; it would match my Canadian Flag which is frayed and greyed; that was my only prezzie requezzie when I wrote to Santa @ The North Pole, HOHOHO, this year. I thought, well, he can just drop it down the chimney and not worry about it combusting because we have no fires<BR/><BR/>How about making things mandatory, as well? New legislation's going through our provincial government's process to mandate smoke detectors as well as carbon-monoxide ones. (I have both; but, the latter cost an arm and an ear; so, again, is this just a way to make money for Kidd's and other manufacturers?).<BR/><BR/>Yeah, I know, statistics are the leading cause of statistics.Judith Fitzgeraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15630731762216185341noreply@blogger.com
