What's funny about the USA is hearing people claim "It's a free country" this late in the game. I mean, we have federal regulations on what kind of *toilet* we can own.

And that regulation was passed with broad bipartisan support. For that regulation to become law, free Americans had to vote for their Congressional representation. They had to vote for their US Senate representation. They had to vote for the President. And all of those people then had to draft the law, which was reported on in the press, and passed. And if the people wanted that law changed, they could probably get it changed. It IS a free country. But we, the People, are sometimes our own worst enemy.

the reason the pols voted for the new toilets is because most of them know they are crap anyway and they know it takes a lot of water to flush a big ole "loggerhead" so they cut back on the water so they would have a chance to grab the rim and pull themselves out before going completely down the pipe.

And if the people wanted that law changed, they could probably get it changed. It IS a free country.

Well, there are two kinds of freedom - one is freedom of living the way you think is right, the other is freedom to force the chains on everyone. People who freely chose slavery are not free anymore, especially that if many such choices are made the process is irreversible.
