Dump the Alphabet Soup, Already!
December 12th 2009 14:38
I've been saying for years that we need to get rid of some of the alphabet soup that is drowning us. The UN has always been a prime example. Now there's another one to add to the list. The EPA!
With no oversight or supervision, the EPA has been able to get away with whatever it's hollow little heart desires. Apparently there is no one and nothing preventing them from abusing their illegitimate power to any extreme they choose. What may, at one time, have sounded like a good idea, has turned into a nightmare.
How would you like to be fined for daring to exhale? Technically, they can get away with it, having declared our very breath to be a "pollutant". Will they station "breath police" at every home, tallying the "toxic" gas we produce? Nope. Instead they'll just raise our taxes and charge us extra for everything that breathing people need to continue the "dangerous" habit.
The EPA can get away with literally anything you can imagine. They can stop people from building or clearing their own land. They can prevent us from having private gardens unless we use "approved" chemicals. They can accuse anyone and anything or pollution and the object of the attack has no legal recourse.
Like the UN and IRS, what once seemed to be a good idea has become a monster of red tape and regulations that interfere with every aspect of our lives. The beastie is getting more and more expensive to feed every day and bolder as it fattens up for the next assault.
Another bowl of poisonous alphabet soup we need to pour down the drain is the FDA. Have you noticed how many new wonder drugs the FDA approves? The ones with potentially deadly side effects, for example...? Have you noticed the number of lawyers who are suddenly advertising their services for the victims of FDA approved drugs? Medications that have been proven to be effective against cancer and AIDS (for two examples) are held up for years while patients die, yet OTC pills are popping up (yes, pun intended) everywhere just in time to be dangerous before the FDA changes it's mind and banns them so the lawyers can make extra money with class action suits.
All the alphabet soup comes from the government, folks. They get a wild hair to create something "beneficial" and force it down our throats. Then we're stuck with it forever! We need the new occupant of the White House (and the rest of the elected criminals) to be more interested in protecting the American people instead of the rat pack of litigators. (You know what a litigator is, right? It's the bigger and nastier cousin of the alligator. And it has a never-ending appetite for money.) But the chances of the sorry bunch now in control ever acting with our best interests in mind are non-existent (at best).
2010 is coming and so is the desperately needed housecleaning. Let's get rid of the crooks and the alphabet soup at the same time!

They should ban themselves for being human waste of which they are full of.
