Ever buy something and once you arrived home decided well I’m not going to use this. Well today I bought a halogen desk light for the amazing price of $4.99. I needed something cheap just for reading. I opened up the box and looked at the extension cord with tags on it, one reading CAUTION: Risk of exposure to excessive ultraviolet radiation. Wow, not only do I get skin cancer but possibly a sunburn too. After doing some Googling I found that some organizations are recommending that manufacturers shield these products to reduce the radiation, why not ban them from being sold. I didn’t expect much from a $4.99 light but not skin cancer. If the toxic air, water and food isn’t killing us then it’s the lights too. Back to reading by candlelight, oh did I mention that burning some candles emits lead into the air LOL.

When I logged on to this site I thought that you would talk on how something like ‘reading can cause blindness’ (not like I agree or anything), but not about some stupid book light. If you are going to talk about that then call it ‘Book Lights Kill You’ or something. So change the name.
