All that is left of Daisy is a wall. They tore the rest of the factory down and left the wall as an historic memorial. The Wilcox house is a B & B now. I didnt know it was the home of a dirty mistress, though. How interesting!
I was just in Plymouth yesterday. Did a little window shopping and went to the Box Bar for lunch. You ever been? 40 beers on trap and 700 bottled varieties from around the world. I got too overwhelmed with the choices and had a Sam Adams. A Sam Adams! D'Oh!
We should meet up there sometime.
Then I finished up the day with a trip to Earth Lore (the Pagan/Wiccan/crystal/new age store), which will open me up to all kinds of ridicule if I tell you what I bought, so I wont.
Regarding the topic of the thread... Government regulations to ensure that products are safely manufactured are well and good. Beyond that, it is the consumer's responsibility to use the product in a safe and prudent manner. If you drive your snowmobile onto Whitmore Lake and fall through the ice, that is your own damn fault. All the warning labels in the world wont protect someone against their own ignorance.
Remember Jarts? Every kid with half a brain knew not to stand next to the ring we were aiming for, and every kid with half a brain knew not to throw the jart if someone was standing near the ring. The kids with less than half a brain were not allowed to play.
And what about Ouija boards? If you dont want your kids to summon up demonic spirits, you dont buy your kids a tool to do so. That's what got that girl from The Exorcist in so much trouble! It's all common sense, really.
It is all about personal responsibility and the government has no business regulating that.
