Let's do in a few more kids

What we definitely want is more dangerous toys, less government inspection, and a lot more dieing kids. After all, we have a population problem.

Furthermore, most of the kids who will die are the ones who buy cheap toys, so they're mostly going to be black and Hispanic, and no one wants those kids around anyway:

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29 — The nation’s top official for consumer product safety has asked Congress in recent days to reject legislation intended to strengthen the agency, which polices thousands of consumer goods, from toys to tools.

On the eve of an important Senate committee meeting to consider the legislation, Nancy A. Nord, the acting chairwoman of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, has asked lawmakers in two letters not to approve the bulk of legislation that would increase the agency’s authority, double its budget and sharply increase its dwindling staff.

Ms. Nord opposes provisions that would increase the maximum penalties for safety violations and make it easier for the government to make public reports of faulty products, protect industry whistle-blowers and prosecute executives of companies that willfully violate laws.


Hint, hint: Putting poison in your trick or treat candies will go a long way too.
