A lot of government regulation, I hate to say it, is a direct response to serious abuses in the past; this is especially true of environmental and occupational health regulation. The key to making it work, IMO, is not to toss the concept of regulation, but to trim out the core regulations that make sense from the mass of bullshit that doesn't, and make the rules clear, simple, and enforceable. Easier said than done, but I wish they'd at least try.

Thank you for thanking me SR, as I gave a very large part of my income to help get those safety features on American nukes implemented. Yogi

You're welcome. I don't know whether signing petitions and marching carrying signs did all that much good, but if it did, I'm glad I did it. I remember once picketing the plant that was being built upriver from Baton Rouge, on the banks of the Mississippi (God help Baton Rouge, New Orleans and the farmers in the midwest if there's ever an accident there!) Some men in vans were taking photos of the picketers. I went up and asked whether they were news reporters, and they just laughed, and kept taking my picture. I wonder who they were working for?
