One of the smartest people I know, and the greatest boss I ever had, said: "Don't bring that crap in here and get us sick, too. Period."
I read your profile.
You need to add these to yer big gubbermint list:
Mandating toilets that use no more than 1 gallon per flush, why they didn’t flush well.
Banning incandescent light bulbs, so you get to buy expensive mercury filled CFL’s that don’t last as long if you turn them on and off often.
Banning DDT to save endangered birds, killing tens of thousands of humans from malaria.
And here’s the best of them all, the winner by virtue of how absurd it was, from the Obama stimulus package: millions of US tax dollars going to Africa in an effort to educate sub Saharan men on the proper use of a condom. I had 11 years to think about that one, and I’m still not sure how that stimulated the US economy.
