Your example is weak: For instance: a man has died because someone didn't make sure TNMP put their auger in the ground in the right place, it split a gas line, a house blew up, and a man died. Had the regulation been a bit stricter, this accident wouldn't have happened.
There are strict guidelines and a media campaign to call utilities before digging. They come out for free. No amount of regulations would have changed the outcome that some ass dug without a survey. Now it is unfortunate that that man died but if the workers and PPL around noticed he was digging without survey flags and didn't say anything, shame on them. Ever hear of call before digging
"you get Somalia" Somalia is not a good example of a true anarchy because you have factions fighting to be the central power. You missed the point of social mores and how they can more effective than any rules and regulations put forth by GOV.
"Perhaps you're one of the robber barons, who's going to profit obscenely from the anarchy, by selling poisoned food and clothing and defective devices. Who cares if the great unwashed DIE?? As long as the die -over there- and not on your lawn, am I right??" - Yes [sigh] I am a robber baron that gets to blah blah blah. /s
Incorrect.
"Either way, the only person who's delusional and brainwashed is YOU, sir: the TeaParty crazies have gotten to you." - So much assumption fail here its crazy. I never once clamored for smaller government. I agree that the size and scope of government has gotten unmanageable and not cost effective. So if I were you I would keep the ASSumptions to a minimum.
See normally in a discussion you would have point, counter point. It is a clear indicator of a troll when valid points are ignored. Despite all of the valid arguments made above you choose to ignore them. Ex: Despite heavy regulation in the food industry we see the conditions in restaurants that are deplorable.
Strict regulation in any industry can have positive and negative consequences, and stricter/more does not always lead to better.
"Yet another: outsourcing of jobs. And that's just so the 1%ers can fatten their already fat profits, while they put people out of jobs and in turn given them dangerous products with the dangers carefully hidden so the consumers have no clue of the dangers." - You do realize, or not, you sound just like a Tea Party follower.
I have mentioned this to a quite a few people and the look in their eyes is shock. It grabs attention. More people need to know about these slimy bastards thieving practices as they cry wolf time and time again about piracy while their pockets overflow with money.
Sorry Tex I dont agree. There was a short time when YouTube had its community flagging inappropriate content and it worked really well. Porn vids were flagged in minuets. All it took was for the community to get involved.
In an anarchy, or school yard tactics, the greater numbers protect the lesser. Example: When I was younger and their was a fight between PPL that was it. They fought and the crowd kept it for lack of a better word safe. When we hit the ground and someone was a clear loser it was broken up and that was it. You lost I won, now lets go have a keg.
I have seen these social mores at work in different situations all throughout life in many situations.
"Is that what you really want? To watch your children eat something that will make them sick? To use a car that will blow up in their faces? To have a building collapse on them and kill them?
Because that's what you'll get without strong law and regulation." - And that is exactly what you have been brainwashed to think. I dont know of many food businesses with lousy food or food that makes ppl sick that survive.
"that's what you'll get without strong law and regulation." - We already have that WITH GOV regulation. I guess you dont watch Kitchen Nightmares that much huh? Dont if you like to eat out.
I guess you dont like home renovation shows either. Despite having strict codes to adhere to while building/remodeling, PPL dont always follow them. You can have regulations out the wazoo and PPL will always try to cut corners.
What we do know is that almost every central government in history has failed. I gotta go home now but have a little read if you have time:
Six Thousand Years of Failed Governments http://www.thepriceofliberty.org/03/10/08/dorothy.htm
(She gets a little God-y at the end)
and in case you dont:
If man is evil, government will be evil, and that is precisely what history proves.
"is that people don't know what to do." - Exactly!!!
I cant tell you how many times PPL say to me, what do we do? What can I do about it?
And it kills me that I have no answer. The emotional part of me says" Fuck 'em lets get armed and storm the Congress. But I know that most likely wouldn't work and would be met with martial law and a bloody massacre.
Well lets have a sit-in at the White House. The lamestream media would have a field day and before you know it they would be wing-nut-jobs or the like.
Dunno what will be a tipping point, but from what I have noticed happening in the short time since 9/11 and where it appears we are going, it may be the only choice we have left in the future.
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
The Administration does not support blowing up planets.
"The Administration does not support blowing up other planets." - Our own is a different story.
"-The construction of the Death Star has been estimated to cost more than $850,000,000,000,000,000." - And we wouldn't want to use our whole budget on one project.
"in a short essay titled "This isn't the petition response you're looking for." - Also applies to 99.9% of petitions.
Could you imagine the lawsuits if we actually tried to build a Death star? How many patent troll... um.. I mean holders would come crawling out of the woodwork to get a piece?
$850,000,000,000,000,000. to build it.
$850,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. for the cost of licensing.
Sounds about right.
I read today about the Russian public getting 20,000 protestors to protest the Russian governments decision to make it illegal for American citizens to adopt Russian children.
It is a sad day when Russia looks more like America than Amerika does.
Funny I didnt think this would have made it here. I heard about this on the radio this morning. And funny as the response was:
Better luck getting a death star built.
I finally realized this morning while listening to the radio and the DJ's told the story of the petition to build a death star and how many ppl signed it that we are totally fucked in any aspect that requires citizens to be diligent in protecting their freedoms.
F'in petition to build a death star and it got the required signatures. Really Amerika?
Yeah.
"Kudos on our government for showing that they have a sense of humor and that they've hired at least one person who can make enough Star Wars references to placate fans like me."
Ask Kim Dot Com, Dajaz1, Aaron, inmates in Guantanamo, (and on and on and on) how funny the Gov is. Ha ha ha... yeah no, not so funny.
"On the other hand, shame on that same government for taking the time to respond to this petition before responding to a plethora of others far more serious in nature." Amen.
Secret Service is sooooo much scarier. And hell, they must need more money. The ever-reaching hand of authoritay gets larger. They just wanted in on the action. Cant let the FBI, CIA, DOJ, DHS, and every other acronym out there to have all the fun.

Those two go together. My comment was directed at those who stay and keep their mouths shut and allow their names to be tarnished with further reviews where the reader will now always wonder if this is basically an infomercial.

They need to get some balls and be like ok we will just pull out of your country for a while. Man you spend time and do the best you can do to make a good product and then everyone uses you and WHAM!!!! Awww you are too big and need to be investigated. They should have located their offices on wall street. Then instead of being too big and getting sued, they could have gotten a bazillion dollars.
