Wouldn't it be nice if there was some sort of a 'central government' whose ONLY proper function was to regulate all the Corporations / industries, and actually protected the people from unscrupulous manufacturers who are willing to poison us all? I was thinking like, maybe, if some sovereign states got together and decided to form a SMALL central government for this and only this purpose. There are already some published guidelines for doing this. They are available under the name 'The US Constitution!'It would be cool if some people decided to actually use the thing, for a change.RP'08

My asthma is triggered by allergies, allergies from things outside...

All I know is that I grew up in a household with TONS of cleaning products and I have never had an asthma attack. Both my sisters are also asthma free. My wife however, grew up as the child of Italian immigrants who ONLY use vinegar as their sole cleaning product. 2 of the 5 kids (including my wife) have asthma. To this day my mother-in-law still only uses off-the-shelf white vinegar to clean bathrooms, floors etc.I'm not calling BS on the research, but I kinda gotta give it a glaring grimace.
