[sdiy] Eu might be banning Vactrols and LDRs??

[Bob Weigel]

Hehe..exactly.  Nobody can be this stupid.  These people are just trying 
to exploit the relative ignorance of the masses to fear-monger and drive 
some agenda they have.  People make money by creating panick in one area 
or another and buying/investing in the 'solution'.  The people 
responsible for this kind of thing should be imprisoned.  The 
environmental impact of producing LDR's is...that much CD gets taken out 
of the environment and it'll likely never return :-) -Bob
