Link, it really is none of your buisness what I eat or I buy for my kid to eat. You need to read the book "Boundaries" By Dr. Henry Cloud.....Seriously! We have a culture of stupid people because of this mindset. You know the one, were no one has PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY any more. It's always someone else's fault......Just look at any tv show or a lot of todays music it all touts it's someone else's fault. Just step into a welfare office and a lot of people in line will tell you it is someone else's fault they are there, their own life decisions didn't have a thing to do with it. Even King Obama claims non stop it's Bush's fault....years later. No Obama it's your economy now, your sequesture, your unwillingness to compromise that has this economy ready to collapse....
Best interests at heart? I see you enjoy prospecting much like I do, do you think the dredging ban in California or the one they (the govt) is trying to put into place in Oregon has your best interests at heart?
Loss of freedoms do not equate into best interests at heart (except for the govt)
Sorry but I cannot go along with you on this......
