Default Cabelas and Lead

The National Parks goal is to ban lead by the end of this year. I've
been weaning myself off lead for a few years now and pretty much don't
use it anymore. Just went to Cabelas to get some tungsten bead heads
for a few dozen flies I need to tie. Over 90% of the beads they had
were plated lead. Most of the rest were brass. Of the 5 pegs they
had for tungsten, three were empty.
You know, if you are going to advertise how great you are in
preserving the environment, maybe you should live up to your words and
sell products that further that goal.
Rant off.

(who knows the boy scouts I'm tying these flies for would not know the
difference, but I would)
