RangerM Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 HR 2749: Totalitarian Control of the Food Supply You better translate, FMC. Most aren't going to see that for what it really is. People hear the words "food safety" and automatically think its a good thing, not paying attention to the devil in the details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmccap Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 (edited) You better translate, FMC. Most aren't going to see that for what it really is. I just put it here after Roadtrip mentioned famine and hunger. Now after what you said "Most aren't going to see that for what it really is", I guess I put it under the correct topic " Dumbest Generation Getting Dumber". People hear the words "food safety" and automatically think its a good thing, not paying attention to the devil in the details. Americans Love Government According to latest Rasmussen Reports, 30 percent of Americans believe congressmen are corrupt. Last year, Congress' approval rating fell to 9 percent, its lowest in history. If the average American were asked his opinion of congressmen, among the more polite terms you'll hear are thieves and crooks, liars and manipulators, hustlers and quacks. But what do the same people say when our nation faces a major problem? "Government ought to do something!" When people call for government to do something, it is as if they've been befallen by amnesia and forgotten just who is running government. It's the very people whom they have labeled as thieves and crooks, liars and manipulators, hustlers and quacks. The path we're embarked upon, in the name of good, is a familiar one. The unspeakable horrors of Nazism, Stalinism and Maoism did not begin in the '30s and '40s with the men usually associated with those names. Those horrors were simply the end result of a long evolution of ideas leading to consolidation of power in central government in the name of "social justice." In Germany, it led to the Enabling Act of 1933: Law to Remedy the Distress of the People and the Nation and, after all, who could be against a remedy to relieve distress? Decent but misguided Germans, who would have cringed at the thought of what Nazi Germany would become, succumbed to Hitler's charisma. Today's Americans, enticed, perhaps enchanted, by charismatic speeches, are ceding so much power to Washington, and like yesteryear's Germans are building the Trojan Horse for a future tyrant.

I take a different view with respect to effective oversight of critical economic areas, Americans are ceding power and authority to people who are inept or incapable.
