It's also worth noting that cleaning products usually do have prominent warnings on them. Cars need a license to drive that isn't available to children and also come with pages of warnings in the manual (since they don't come in a box). Power tools also have warnings on them.
My kids were stringing popcorn with needle and thread at age 2 (with close supervision). It doesn't take more than a poke or two for them to learn. I would break double edged razor blades to cut balsa for stick and paper models at age 6. I had a cousin working as a choker setter in the woods at age 8. His 12 year old brother was operating a D8 Cat, driving a log truck and doing welding. Sometimes I think we baby this generation too much

I took High School Algebra from an octegenerian none of us took very seriously. It seemed rather easy. In college we covered the same material, and it seemed the professor managed to make it look very difficult. Some are gifted teachers, others are not.

Natural selection at work.
Like 'pumping' on a swing.
Simulating a major toothache should get their attention.
I'm going to print myself a bumper sticker that says "Fund NASA, not NSA".
They did get Martha Stewart for insider trading.
And, the younger the better.

And the banksters go free.
We have such an opportunity to expand our vocabulary - new words, like haboob, and dericho.
We must be progressing faster than ever.
20 years for a warning shot? That's nuts.
