Unfortunately, that book title was already used by Al Franken. I wish I could believe that Americans would not be gullible enough to believe the lies that come from PIRG's and other self-proclaimed consumer advocate groups' propaganda.

Sorry, couldn't resist. <br /><br />Rick, have you seen this presentation? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZzHU3ZfTtY&feature=fvw<br /><br />Perhaps a CPSIA video akin to this one (where you debunk the compost being piled high by such *clever* special interests as you feature here) would be worth considering? Perhaps it would be fun to run a contest to give the video an appropriate name (my vote is for "Dumb and Dumber...a Congressional Tale...").Tristan Benzhttp://www.maidenus.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811142208729284263.post-1551993248181049022009-09-27T10:19:10.779-05:002009-09-27T10:19:10.779-05:00What these groups seem unwilling to recognize is t...What these groups seem unwilling to recognize is the level at which they are alienating their support base.<br /><br />I live in a very "consumer group friendly" area and people here no longer believe the consumer groups or support them.<br /><br />It isn't rocket science for people to see that these groups are not representing the consumer with this propaganda.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811142208729284263.post-57591745451120618322009-09-26T01:16:43.964-05:002009-09-26T01:16:43.964-05:00Something I could never understand.
