Hey, it's not my rules or lunacy, I'm just point out the obstacles from
first hand experience. I feel the same way you do about the subject, but
that's not going to change the fact that we can't buy lead based paint
either. I have yet to see an inner-city child get lead poisoning from
teething on the windowsills. Hey, try to get some oil based paint color
mixed. You can't in a lot of the lower 48 since oil paint is now off
limits. We're stuck with crappy latex.
