Does this say what I think it does? Do nothing for violations, period? Looks that way until April of 2009, which means basically that they have AGAIN postponed the damn thing another 6 months. This is been the pattern, postponing this now for near 6 years. Compliance appears to be voluntary until 4/2009 and then we will see what kind of BS they come up with then db |

I have kidney stones. I always assumed it was from the desert Southwest hard water. I can tell you the pain in an adult is exquisite. I wonder now as to the cause. Maybe in my sixth decade, I can give new meaning to rock and roll. That would be funny if this all wasn't so tragic for babies and pets and the human community.   3cat You raise an interesting point. The guy that works right behind me just had an attack of stones, 28 years old. Always eating snack things, who knows. I am sure the CDC doesn't keep track of this, or maybe they do and just don't tell us if kidney stones are on the rise. db |

db maybe product of usa means the company was incorporated here? That way they can claim that title and process their stuff in other countries, then ship it back here and sell it.
Or what if the company is incorporated here but has branches in other countries, then they can ship it back and forth and it always stays with their company?? db |

I wonder if the minced fresh ginger and garlic in the jars can be labeled USA if it is only processed and packaged in the USA and grown elsewhere. Catbird Or grown here and processed elsewhere?? like fish grown here and processed in China Unless you get it local you never really know. I don't understand the criteria for product of USA?? db |

Actually quantum physics isn't that difficult.
Basically it deals with the movement and existence of very small things, like atomic particles. It is based on theory and science.
OTOH, this financial stuff neither exists nor performs. It sounds like some weird stuff where you take a dollar bill and fold it 20 times and then have 20 dollars, or cut a dollar into 60 pieces and have 60 dollars. All these violate the laws of science, the individual parts of a whole can not be 60 times greater than the whole.
No wonder it collapsed.
Now I'm confused again
