I ranted a little yesterday on the F B about how our society has become a bit skewed. We permit the food-producing industry to casually include poisonous chemicals in the food-chain, without repercussions ... and prosecute individuals for sharing fresh, whole milk from a cow. We readily accept offerings from the pharmacological industry that claim rare side effects including fatality ... as being acceptable possible consequences of of taking medications for relatively minor infirmities .... and not the industry, the bureaucrats who sign off on those products ... nor the government of the day responsible for looking out for the best interests of the people are held accountable for those fatalities. Ironically we continue to hunt down peon guards from war-era European camps and parade them through dog & pony show trials in the name of justice. We regularly drag officers from some third-world country conflict before international courts ... and I'm not saying those are wrong but how many have died at the hands of government sanctioned industry? And more importantly, how many were taken to task for those crimes?
Do you see where this is going? Do you get it? If government was honestly concerned about the well being of the people ... would they not legislate these unsafe industrial practices and behaviours. Would they not ensure that the safety and well being of those same people? Instead we get these puppets who look out for the agendas of various special interest groups who claim to represent the people and push through questionable legislation ... regardless of the possible adverse outcomes. We get the robFords and other clowns ... And those clowns mistakenly or conveniently forget the destinies of all the despots that have gone before them.
