All rights reserved the last paragraph of ski's latest: 321gold.com it touches on an important point: now, numerous crooks in the mufu industry got caught. they're being indicted, punished, what have you. fine. but why on earth do we then need NEW REGULATIONS? weren't the old ones sufficient to purge the industry? has anyone noticed that every time a handful of crooks gets caught doing something wrong ( or , in fact, NOT doing anything wrong, as in M. Stewart's case ) , the bureaucrats quickly seize the opportunity to expand leviathan's purview by imposing numerous and often onerous new regulations that end up adding immeasurably to our costs? this is a direct result of legitimate concerns about wrong-doing overlapping with the so-called 'politics of envy' as well as a docile, sheep-like populace drunk from the opium emanating from the welfare/warfare states teats demanding that "the government must DO something!" why, where would we be without this benevolent monolith looking after our every move! and soon you won't be able to fart without a license! it's like the story about the whale oil crisis...Congress ignored it, and dang, if it isn't the greatest miracle of all time that we survived this inherently evil bout of governmental inattention...
