I say all this because I was just recently educated on how bad all of the products we use every day are for us.

The chemicals and crap they put into our deoderant, face wash, soap, shampoo, perfume, makeup, etc is terrible and it's no wonder we're (Americans in general) always sick and crappy feeling.

I think that caffeine is by far the lesser of the many evils out there.

Glad you can make light of childrens health issues.

Rex, do you care as much that corporations are strip mining mountains, polluting our water and air with heavy metals and creating products like Scotchguard and Teflon that poison our children? Or is it more important to have a strong economy?

Why did you skip my question? I'm being sincere.

Course not.
He isn't worried about the toxins and chemicals in our shampoo, or the hormones and antibiotics in our meat.

Now you seem more concerned Bella by what we put on our skin versus what we eat and drink?

I don't understand that one bit. Please explain? Also deodorant is not marketed as something to potentually give you "energy". and it is not given a deceptive name like "rockstar".

You should see the letter I wrote to Calgon over two years ago concerning sodium laureth sulfate.

After soaking in it I read the ingredients. (and this was the spa formula) I assumed they would put essential oils etc but instead it was pure chemicals sodium laureth sulfate...

and I quote: I said in my letter, "What makes you think I would want to soak in these noxious chemicals!"

In all respect, please don't put words in my mouth Bella. Apparently you don't think that hard about what you put in your own mouth.

Where then, Rex, do you plan to draw the line?

Make everything that's bad for you illegal?

Or let people decide what they want to do with their own bodies? And hold parents responsible for their kids actions, not society?

The point I am making is that children (many without proper supervision) are not mature enough to make these types of decisions and parents are either not informed or "liberal" democrats. You seem to prove my case in point by your flippant concern for teens.

Todays children poisoned by caffeine become tomorrows CEO's (or more likely the homeless on welfare)...

I've heard "liberal democrats" being blamed for a lot of crazy things, but allowing their children to overdose on caffeine is just the wackiest of all. I worked on Wall St for years, no one was downing more caffeine than those Republican stock brokers, investment bankers and corporate lawyers. I've also worked in the art industry where almost everyone was a liberal Democrat, their preferred drink was expensive bottled water or white wine. I think you need to do some research to forward your ideas here.

This statement is just silly. You are saying excessive caffeine will create either CEO's or welfare queens? What an extreme. You will find that the majority of CEO's have been raised in white, Republican families. Most people on welfare are coming from families that have no political affiliations, as they are too busy trying to survive to worry about who is going to Washington. If you're theory is correct - then the expansion of Starbucks is the end of civilization as we know it. I don't have to worry about the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, but rather a double espresso frappaccino, iced, with whip cream and extra cinnamon.

Actually caffeine has many health benefits:

I am a republican, I am certainly not rich and I drink tap water.

I am a democrat (usually), I am certainly not rich and I drink tap water.

Prejudice and generalizations about race, gender, religion, politics and nationalities are why we fight wars. Bad for people and other living things.

I know what trailer park mentality leads to

I'm poor, but tap water scares hell outta me. I been in the plant, and replaced many a supply pipe at the delivery level...
