In a story that would be touching in the ordinary context, an 88 year old man and his 85 year old girlfriend built a portable water purification business from a dream to a reality. Nothing wrong there; such things are supposed to be part of the American Dream.
But now, their business is being ruined by one of the most unaccountable and tyrannical bureaucracies in the history of government, the DEA
Comment:
Just another example of a government that is out of control. This is what the Tea Party is about.
Given that too many people now like their big government, it could be hard to change this though.
A personal story here, not significant, but a little to that point. About 20 years ago, I had jury duty, and the case involved the intent to distribute cocaine. In voire dire, it was asked if anyone had a problem with some aspect of the case and I said something like the following: "I understand that this is a free country and if you want to use drugs that should be your own business and not the government's". This drew a collective gasp from everyone in the courtroom. At the end of the day, a jury could not be selected and we were all dismissed. It seems to me now that there's not enough people who understand where this is taking us, and that includes more than the war on drugs, but it is across the board. The government is just plain out of control.
Update:
I've been looking at some wikipedia posts about a constitutional convention. Otherwise known as an Article V convention, this is a possible way to reign in the increasingly tyrannical federal government. Congress couldn't do a damn thing about it.
