insatiably graphic with yukon cornelius

I’m going to endeavour to do more personal blogging. While my passion for what most would term ‘current events’ is obvious, it seems to me that talking about nothing has its upsides from time to time. But before I do, I have some disturbing news that I wanted to pass along. According to Organic Consumers, the American Environmental Protection Agency…

Public comments are now being accepted by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on its newly proposed federal regulation regarding the testing of chemicals and pesticides on human subjects. On August 2, 2005, Congress had mandated the EPA create a rule that permanently bans chemical testing on pregnant women and children, without exception. But the EPA’s newly proposed rule, is ridden with exceptions where chemical studies may be performed on children in certain situations like the following:

Children who "cannot be reasonably consulted," such as those that are mentally handicapped or orphaned newborns, may be tested on. With permission from the institution or guardian in charge of the individual, the child may be exposed to chemicals for the sake of research.

Parental consent forms are not necessary for testing on children who have been neglected or abused.Chemical studies on any children outside of the U.S. are acceptable.

If you’d like to contact the EPA about this, please feel free to do so. Other than that, I have to come to terms with my insatiably graphic OCD, there’s no getting around that. I’ve also started to exhibit signs of functionality OCD, which is troubling. Obligatory work parties all but stand in my way. People would rather hear me explain the story of an elf that wants to become a dentist (never minding the reindeer nonsense) than go into a forum about the Kyoto deal . If you happen upon me this Christmas, lets make the following and rejoice!
