Lead Found In Dental Crown

"CHICAGO (March 27, 2008)—An Ohio TV station aired a report in late February claiming that a dental crown produced in a Chinese dental lab has tested positive for lead. There is no appropriate use for lead in manufacturing dental prosthetics."
From the ADA Website.

Well, not sure about anyone else, but I would not want a crown or bridge which contained lead. Seeing that lead is known to cause many problems in the human body, it makes you wonder what they were thinking.
Next time I need something like that, I am going to ask the dentist where my crown was manufactured. Besides, using local labs will have the added benefit of supporting local economies.
Cheers,
Dan.

Insane Politicians

OK.. Seldom do I think a politician is COMPLETELY insane. But, I think we have found a candidate.
Sally Kern Speech.

Introducing Sally Kern, a Republican state senator in Oklahoma.
She gave quite a speech here. She even claims that "Studies show no society that has totally embraced homosexuality has lasted for more than a few decades."
Hmmm.. I would like to see those studies. I mean, what about ancient Greece? Rome? How about Japan during the Shogunate?
Maybe she did an Ann Coulter and just made it up?
If you ever wondered why we still have problems in this great nation, look no further.
Vote smart people.
