Just in case you were under the mistaken impression that the nanny-state do-gooders in Washington had injected themselves into every imaginable corner of your life, we get this news today...WASHINGTON — If you're planning a garage sale or organizing a church bazaar, you'd best beware: You could be breaking a new federal law. As part of a campaign called Resale Roundup, the federal government is cracking down on the secondhand sales of dangerous and defective products.
The initiative, which targets toys and other products for children, enforces a new provision that makes it a crime to resell anything that's been recalled by its manufacturer.
"Those who resell recalled children's products are not only breaking the law, they are putting children's lives at risk," said Inez Tenenbaum, the recently confirmed chairwoman of the Consumer Product Safety Commission

So, coming to your yard-sale soon, will be gov't thugs in jack-boots and dark glasses to pour over your yard-sale items to ferret out any dangerous contraband, small enough that some dumb kid might stick up his nose or some other orifice. Do you people understand how utterly stupid and incompetent your government thinks you are, that you can't even manage to exercise a tad of common sense when buying things for your kids? The people who allow this sort of idiocy are your elected representatives. Show them in the next election, what you think about the government intruding into our daily lives with endless regulation and oversight. If we reward them with re-election, we'll get more of the same.
