A Great Critique On the Infantile "The Story of Cosmetics"
Those who know me know I have issues with Google and their lack of respect for privacy regarding web usage. I'm also a tad pissed they caved in to some of PandaLand's internet demands. So you know I'm totally pissed about something when I end up subscribing to something else that normally pisses me off in order to help out and get the word out. I broke down and subscribed to Google/YouTube so as to post this entry. And to facilitate other possible or future needs that may entail YouTube. Seems no matter the issue, if you want to be heard around the world, put a clip about it on YouTube.
Why did I break down and subscribe? Because of this:
The Campain For Safe Cosmetics released a bs video the same day the Safe Cosmetics Act 2010 was announced. Their timing was on purpose as most in my industry know the CFSC and their parent org. The Environmental Working Group are the big pushers, sponsors and lobbyists behind this idiocy called Safe Cosmetics Act 2010.
Going around the indie, handcrafted cosmetics internets, interwebs, forums and groups is a wonderful rebuttal video of this infantile dribble put out by CFSC and Annie Lenard. The gentleman rebutting isn't a cosmetic formulator, but he is someone who is tired of small business being overregulated to death. And evidently he has done a little bit of cosmetic ingredient research or had someone sitting next to him who gave him quite a bit of information on the subject in question. He blogs for Competitive Enterprise Institute .
While I have never run into any one institution, organization or idealogy that fits all, most or even half of my views, thoughts and beliefs on life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, when I read someone or something that wants to or is going to bat for small business, I pay attention to it. I can sift through a lot of the flotsam and jetsam. No one anything has ever been able to speak for all. This organization is no different.
In the same vein, without going into a rant, the more I read on potential SCOTUS Judge Elena Kagan, the more uncomfortable I feel about her. I bumbed into this little titbit on the same site. And many more articles on regulations and over burdensome legislation that attacks and penalizes small business for being small and having the ingenuity to exist within their niche. This country was built with and exist because small businesses. Many grow large, many grow gigantic and when they do, they should not throw their weight around and buy influence to push out small inovative businesses that may be competition to them. (That post is coming later). All businesses started with 1 or 2 small products or ideas, in someone's kitchen, gargage or basement and 1 or 2 people selling it.
Lately, my eyebrow has been staying in a permanant state of Mr .Spock.
Until next time.
