We do not at all regulate stuff now. We simply hand over a process of approval to a group of mostly industry-approved. government supported thugs who get huge salaries to tell us that stuff that is dangerous is actually safe.

Witness the Corexit mess in the Gulf. A non-studied item (watch the video relating to it in my sig line) is used - tens of millions of gallons of it. The fish (and people) are sick and the fishing industry in the Gulf is dead. Many of us no longer eat seafood because of that crap - and the labeling laws are so loose, who knows where the fish you eat came from. Most of the time, you can only tell where it was processed.

Look at today's greatest page about the bees dying and EPA-approved Clothianidin, the Bayer created, and EPA supported, pesticide that is ruining the life cycle of plants and killing the be4es.

I am becoming a libertarian, not because I want Big Government to stop helping us, but because after twenty one years of my dealing with the Fat Cats at Monsanto, Novartis, et al, they continue to win, using "trade secrets" as a way to keep the public from understanding what they are doing. While the people continue to lose, even though we people are the ones footing the huge bill for the revolving doors between industry and the regulatory commissions, agencies, panels, forums et al.

As far as racism, I have no idea if Ron Paul is a racist or not. My mother, God rest her soul, was racist in the fifties and sixties, and then, through integration, she worked side by side with blacks and became an ardent supporter of their rights to have what all of us middle-incomed people had.

For what it is worth, class consoiusness is the new racism.

I do know that every single one of the Upper Elite, Elected and Appointed Bastards now in the halls of Congress and WH offices are very "Class conscious." I doubt that most of them would do more than step over my dead body, if I collapsed in one of "their" airports while wearing my jeans and tie-dyed.
