From: Sam Wormley on 19 Mar 2010 18:22 The Best Refrigerator Magnet Ever? A compound of iron and nitrogen exceeds the known limits for magnetism http://news.sciencemag.org/sciencenow/2010/03/the-best-refrigerator-magnet-eve.html?etoc PORTLAND, OREGON�There are limits to just how magnetic a material can be. Or so researchers thought. A compound of iron and nitrogen is about 18% more magnetic than the most magnetic material currently known, a team of materials scientists claims. If such magnets could be produced commercially, they could, for example, allow electronics manufactures to equip computer hard drives with smaller "write heads" capable of cramming them with more information. Other researchers are reacting to the announcement with caution, however, as similar claims about the controversial material have fallen through in the past.

European Union Luddites found out liquid nitrogen is used to make instant ice cream. Nitrogen is now banned from Italian food, <http://www.nature.com/news/2010/100316/full/news.2010.125.html> In fact, liquid nitrogen illegal to store, too. Flash freezing of meat and fish will return to traditional Italian values of food poisoning from spoiled goods.

Unsafe for children and most mammals)http://www.mazepath.com/uncleal/qz4.htm Well, banning liquid nitrogen, sure. I mean it's dangerous stuff. It can make your condoms shatter like glass! No doubt allowing "easy access" to chemicals like this will turn quiet neighborhoods into wild dangerous scientific regions like Livermore Labs or something! We've got to ban it for the children! And speaking of children, it's clear that banning food additives is the only way to save the next generation. When you are a liberal and you see something bad for people (be it not wearing seatbelts or not having insurance) you understand that the rest of the inbred planet isn't as smart or "educated" as you and therefore need to be forced into doing what's good for them. In other words, laws are needed to force compliance. As an example we all know that in spite of eons of the use of salt as food preservative and spice, it's bad for you. Hence, it's important that it be banned. And as usual Lib Dems have a plan! http://www.nrn.com/breakingNews.aspx?id=380356 Yes, it's only NY, but consider it a "good first step"!
