The minor one is when I go to a link, and then come back to this MAGNIFICENT article, I don't go back to the place from which I left this MAGNIFICENT article. Instead, I have to search for where I was. the other, major problem with this MAGNIFICENT article is that it is WAY too short.

There are quite a few of them out there. Over at LRC today they have an article from fearmonger Mac Slavo on lead supply issues. The last lead ore refinery has been shut down.

Haven't searched all the links (too many time consuming videos) but i know that kind. If the above is true Stossel is indeed worthless.
