Sort of reminds me of the Fire District (aka firemen) where I used to live who, inexplicably, decided to get into "rule-making" rather than putting out fires, ultimately codified "fireproof" houses which were fully "sprinklered" only, and effectively put themselves out of business. Except for the continued rule-making part, of course.
If I had the power to do anything, I would have replaced the whole lot of them.
>>When did the U.N. decide that they were created as a world ruling and rule-making body?<<
The one that everyone in the US is acquainted with is the EPA and ESA.....1964 or 66
