BPA Is Toxic In Canada, Not In USA

Canada has acknowledged the common can liner and plastic softener BPA is toxic to human health:

Canada just became the first country in the world to declare bisphenol A (BPA) to be a toxic substance that poses risks to human health and the environment. BPA is a synthetic chemical used to make plastic drinking bottles, baby bottles and storage containers as well as the lining of food and drink cans.

OK For CIA To Destroy Evidence

The CIA destroyed evidence of their complicity in war crimes.  The investigation of the CIA's destruction of evidence predictably resulted in no charges.

A special prosecutor cleared the CIA's former top clandestine officer and others Tuesday of any charges for destroying agency videotapes showing waterboarding of terror suspects, but he continued an investigation into whether the harsh questioning went beyond legal boundaries.

The decision not to prosecute anyone in the videotape destruction came five years to the day after the CIA destroyed its cache of 92 videos of two al Qaeda operatives, Abu Zubaydah and Abd al-Nashiri, being subjected to waterboarding, a form of simulated drowning. The deadline for prosecuting someone under most federal laws is five years.

Debt Collectors Get Their Own Court Room

A debt collect in Pennsylvania set up their own court room with a fake judge who issued fake rulings.  The debt collector is going to see a real court room with a real judge:

The Attorney General's Office told Team 4 that Unicredit lured debtors to the building by sending employees who appeared to be sheriff's deputies to their homes, implying that they would be taken into custody if they failed to appear at the phony court hearings.
