Empty V Cribs

Recently a group of "we know better than you" lawmakers have taken on the task to protect the world by banning drop side cribs. Not familiar with this product, ask a mom or do a google image search. It's exactly what it says, a crib that allows one side to be lowered by a lever mechanism so that the parent can more easily pick up a screaming carpet monkey while not having to bend over a too high crib rail.

These cribs have been around for 100's of years (ok maybe just 1 hundred)and in all that time there has been 23 death related to the product. Most of which were the sides not being properly locked and falling on a kids head or squeezing down on said kids throat.

TWENTY THREE!! Seriously!! I'm no mathmatition,hell I cant even SPELL it, but 23 seems like a pretty small number to go all "ban this devil made product" on the world. I'd bet more people die in the shower from slip and falls on a monthly basis and we arn't all screaming for a Jihad on SOAP.

Now lord knows, I love me a some cute kids, but stupid is stupid. Chances are if these 23 kids didn't die from some wacky crib accident then their idiot parents would have found another way to do them in. Natural selection always has a way of sorting these things out.
