Laws and control

runswithturtles Aug 07, 2008 02:28 PM

This doesn't have much to do with reptiles but is another fine example of Government running things in the wrong direction.
The FBI is probing Ice Firms Eyed Over Alleged Price-Fixing. Even though gas companies have made record profits and we all need to use gas. Ice is a little more optional and who cares if they are making a profit on bags of ice?
Just one more reason why less regulation and control is better.
They don't do what they really need to when they have the control.

I was watching a show on TV and a scientist said, "It is a theory untile we prove it and it is our duty as scientist to fine the proof before it can be a fact".
I wonder why we have so many theories in the science papers that are leaned against reptile keepers? More over I wonder why they act on these theories as if they are facts? Don't they figure they will do more harm in the long run since they are taking action based on nothing but theories? Shouldn't they have to bring the proof to the table before they and goverment entities come rushing in like bulls in the china shop?
The fact that they are being so blind and ignorant in the way they are using these lies to do harm to reptile keepers and there animals is wrong and not moral at all. I feel people need to start getting some lawyers and place some law suits. There is plenty of legal ground to do so. Eric

I kinda think we get the government we deserve. It's all about apathy, ignorance, and uninformed choices. As long as we continue to allow self-aggrandizing self-serving demagogues to make our decisions for us...you know the rest.

That is pretty true. But then after we vote and so on we then get whatever they ram down our throats rather if we like it or not. I mean what do we do fire them? Or maybe dump the tea in the ocean again? For the most part we take it while our Country, lives and freedoms fall apart. I for one am all for letting them know it is just not acceptable anymore.
