Excellent post!
The EPA, DOE, Dept. of Interior, Internal Revenue and numerous other agencies have over the years been infested with people with an agenda (zealots with a cause) who have made it their life’s mission to control the actions of citizens to fit with their idealistic vision.
This is a natural progression of government foreseen by the founders who warned against big government. Our parents, grandparents and our fellow Americans today have ignored those warnings and so we suffer the further loss of liberty daily.
