The same for FBI agents; Postal workers; the military, etc., etc.

Since the EPA came into existence, the air is 95% cleaner than 1960s levels. I find that the government has long proven that they're there to help.
Tell the mother who's daughter matured at age 10 because of all the growth hormones fed to USDA cattle,yes my neighbor true story How come they get fired for sleeping on the job,yeah pretty safe

Most have no clue about east/west germany back in the day or even the cold war. Don't teach em about the evil's of communism and it doesn't exist it's just this grand love fest where everybody is equal is what they want the youth of today to know.

My fav president said this........"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."

It's looking more and more the last part he feared the worst is going to happen unless something is done.

The agenda 21'ers were surely hailing this one. The ICLEI folks were probably holding a big party after the signing. Many aren't paying attention to the work they are doing for the UN boys. Look at how many small and even large communities they have signed up to their nonsense and most citizens have no idea they have that's for sure
Yeah, yeah and Reagan said in 1964 that if Medicare passed we'd be telling our grandchildren about the time when 'men were free.' Well, it's 50 years and we're still free.

the slippery slope is a slippery argument.

To the mother with meat...those animals were fed arsenic laced feed
To the businessman..those air traffic controllers are asleep in the towers
To the factory worker..you're being outsourced

When they come to "help me" I'll just send them to your house instead.

Boy that's some scary stuff there!
Actually, it is. Anytime the government says they are here to help, be afraid. Be very afraid.

Your post exemplifies that there should be stricter regulations, not fewer regulations because surely the practices that you cite wouldn't stop if those regulations didn't exist.

It isn't the government forcing farmers to feed hormones to the animals, it's the farmers. Maybe there should be a regulation stopping farmers from feeding these hormones?
It isn't the government forcing air traffic controllers are asleep in the towers. It's lax regulations and enforcement. Maybe there should be more supervision?
It isn't the government forcing corporations to seek low wages in foreign lands, it's corporations. Maybe there should be a law taxing corporations that outsource?
