OmegaPaladin: “After all, I like being able to buy a medicine and know that it does what it says on the bottle, buy a toy and know that it isn’t coated in toxic paint [...] All the result of evil regulation.”

Hey, OmegaPaladin, how’s those US FDA regulated heparin drugs working for you? There’s also plenty of other examples of bad drugs let into the market (and good drugs kept out) by the fabulous, almighty US Government you worship.

And perhaps, OmegaPaladin, you’ve forgotten that toys “coated in toxic paint” were widely sold in the USA despite the US wonder-government, its volumes of regulations, and its legions of regulation-enforcers.

Eternal vilgilance is the price of liberty. People like OmegaPaladin who’d prefer to be looked-out-for by Mommy Government instead of making an effort to vigilantly look out for themselves really don’t want to live in a community of free people.
