WV lawmaker wants Barbie outlawed in his state

Here's an idea - how about we let parents decide what playthings they want their children to have? As long as they are safe, toys should be left out of government control.

This sums it up for me.

Don't I have some sort of constitution right to have my theoretical children play with lawn darts?

What a waste of time and money.

I just had this conversation with my mother yesterday, funny. My mother didn't allow my eldest sister to have Barbies because she thought Barbie was a bad example. My sister saved her money and bought me my first Barbie. I'm the daughter who has traveled the world, moved away from home, and got out of my crappy relationship, nor have I ever been married. My sister has been married three times and is a stay at home mom. Kind of back fired (though it was the 70's when she denied my sister and the Women's Movement was still going on, by the 80's Barbie had multicultural friends and empowering jobs) if you look how different we turned out.
