I stumbled upon this today... thought you chaps would enjoy it. :CHappy:

"This morning I was awoken by my alarm clock powered by electricity generated by the public power monopoly regulated by the US Department of Energy. I then took a shower in the clean water provided by the municipal water utility. After that, I turned on the TV to one of the FCC regulated channels to see what the National Weather Service of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration determined the weather was going to be like using satellites designed, built, and launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. I watched this while eating breakfast of US Department of Agriculture inspected food and taking the drugs which have been determined as safe by the Food and Drug Administration.

At the appropriate time as regulated by the US Congress and kept accurate by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the US Naval Observatory. I get into my National Highway Traffic Safety Administration approved automobile and set out to work on the roads built by the local, state, and federal departments of transportation, possibly stopping to purchase additional fuel of a quality level determined by the Environmental Protection Agency, using legal tender issued by the Federal Reserve bank. On the way out the door I deposit any mail I have to send via the US Postal Service and drop the kids off at the public school.

After work, I drive my NHTSA car back home on the DOT roads, to a house which has not burned down in my absence because of the state and local building codes and fire marshal's inspection, and which has not been plundered of all it's valuables thanks to the local police department.

I then log on to the internet which was developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Administration and post on freerepublic.com and Fox News forums about how SOCIALISM in medicine is BAD because the government can't do anything right."

Good one.

My economics teacher really hit home with the Socialist government programs part.

I swear, the kids in that class thought that healthcare reform meant giving layabouts 'free money'.

Yeah, well that's what many newscasters and "political commentators" would have you think.

Five were, two of which also have federal control and oversight involved, so technically it was only three of them that can be considered purely state government.

Good, and now, how many of them actually have something to do with interstate trade and commerce?

Milton Friedman style conservatives oppose all forms of government regulation, whether state or federal. I'm pretty sure newrepublic.com caters to those.

Well, people who oppose state government can stuff it, cause that's totally Constitutional no matter who you are.

...:CIsee:

I don't really understand what you are getting at with this post...

Just a double edged sword. People dont like state ownership of things dont realise that a load of things are already owned by the state or regulated by it.

and state ownership being a small part in socialism
and a big thing in communism.

1+1?
