Look on the bottom of your plastic bottles. If there's a "7" inside the triangle recycle thing, toss (er...recycle) it. Most baby bottles (and every other kind of plastic container) are PET plastic "1" which is safe (if used correctly...like don't boil them idiots). These scare tactics, especially aimed at moms, are getting ridiculous.

Why? Handicapable and handicapped people are equal under the law. By attempting to be politically correct in issuing a decree that her wheelchair is off limits, you establish Alioto-Pier as being not equal to you or me. Why does she deserve special treatment like a special person when she herself as an activist for the wheeled folk would reject this distinction as condescending and patronizing? Why do you hate the handicapped, Brock? Any attempt to protect Alioto-Pier on the basis of her physical ability is just bowing down to the patriatchy.

"On the steps" is a bit of an overstatement, no? ;)
