Just more $$$$ for certain pharmaceutical companies via .gov regulation. Nothing new.

I can not even imagine that the founding fathers would ever believe that the form of government that they founded would one day effect every persons lives like it does today. You can't even break wind without breaking some EPA mandate.

Just this past week I bought several different types of scrubber pads. I haven’t used one of the yet - am I going to die by having them in my house? Should I secure them in tin foil hats and mail them to the FDA? What do they do - warp into undead scrubber pads and eat my Yorkie puppy? Give me emergency directions right now.

Well, i hate to give you the bad news. But it turns out that each of what you refer to as a “scrubber” is actually an unregistered sound suppressor (silencer) for a pistol.
This violates the NFA and basically puts you in the category of people who own unregistered machine guns.

Recent ATF ruling.

I don't believe that the government can prosecute all 308 million people for that one.

Yep, Big PhRMA, making sure we’re a captive market for their $200/month drugs, I suspect.

I dare you to stick a scrubbing pad in your significant other's mouth. You'll be sleeping on the couch for months!

Pinging the Agenda21 folks. This is about the FDA move to regulate in an unreasonable manner food supplements.

By following links on the article, it is possible to find this discussion by Dr. Mercola as well:

If you want to be on or off the Agenda 21 ping list, please notify me by Freepmail. It is a relatively low volume list in which we have been exploring the UN Agenda21 and related topics. We have collected our studies with threads, links, and discussions on the Agenda 21 thread which can be found here:

Yes.

Suddenly simple vitamins become pharmaceutical prescribed drugs.

A bottle of Centrum goes from 5 bucks to fifty.

Attention, please.

All Republican candidates

You have just been handed an issue that will win elections for you; however...

You must reach out to your constituents and explain that you will stand for consumers making their own informed decisions, because of the outstanding safety recorded for supplements; and because of the demonstrated health benefits, that there is no reason for government to regulate them using rules that are expressly intended for preservatives (which can be a form of biocide)
