>> EVERYTHING is regulated..

You made up a ton of shit in that post.

Doors on someone's house aren't "regulated". While there may be building codes that impose certain requirements in some areas, I could put up any kind of door on my home I wanted to and nobody would or could say a thing about it.

We own timberland all over SW Arkansas and nobody tells us one damned thing to do or not do with it. It isn't "regulation" of the trees to say if trees are planted on someone else's property they'll be destroyed.

I haven't sold marijuana at a garage sale but if I did it wouldn't be regulated.

There is no doubt we are an over-regulated society. That's what happens when you have a full-time Congress with nothing else to do for 200 years. Every year we get a year's worth of new regulation interfering in our lives.

If Congress really wanted to help our country, they'd declare themselves to work every other year which would be totally adequate to meet the country's needs. Probably still would be overkill.

You are so FOS.
