The was no lead in the incoming water and all the piping was replaced using non-lead solder. The tap was turned on and drat! there was still lead in the school water. The new brass faucets had trace amounts of lead so they could work, and the testing meters actually picked up the lead from the faucets.

So how should one take the lead paint on Chinese produced toys? As idiocy, absolute idiocy. The paint on the toys binds strongly to the plastic. No child was hurt by the toys and no child ever will be hurt by the toys. We are idiots!

Senator Durbin is one of the nicest people in the world, but sometimes he is soooooooo dumb, and not just on this issue. Now I understand the recent toy hysteria: to get crazy legislation. It drives me up the wall.
