Yeah - and the last update that I saw on prohibited items for the trash also
included VCR tapes. I guess they consider ferric oxide (rust) a hazardous
material too.
Of course, I have always had the idea that if they took all of the plastic
junk they have produced since the invention of plastic, and laid it end to
end - IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA.
I still believe in making things out of REAL material. So it weighs more,
maybe we wouldn't be carrying so much stuff around. Yes, I'm old fashioned
and I admit it.

Well I would also wonder how the acids often found in the

micro eons. Presumably someone, not me, may actually

Those who want to put in some time can examine this

study that started the whole brouhaha.
