We had coal in a house that we lived in when I was 4. My brother and I used to go down to the coal room and get filthy. It was great fun.

The difference between boys and girls!
I had to go outside to the shed and climb
in the coal bin and take a bucket in the house.
Of course, I wasn't four either! But a little girl.

"...In the end, as always, the person simply trying to put food on the table is the victim."


Yes, this is true. But somehow as a people we give government and the unregulated regulatory agencies a complete pass. It never occures to us for example that raising the fuel standards of automobiles equates to job losses. Apparently, the automakers are supposed to redesign, retool, eat inventory, and deliver at no cost. In fact, Jenny on the final assembly line is supposed to still get her maternity leave and paid vacation.

And when they do lay off, and especially when we can publically identify the CEO, we vilify the individual as greedy and evil.
In come the politicians like Florence Nightengales to lubricate the situation with public money. Whether its a subsidy for business or relief for labor, out comes the cash and the match burns twice...so to speak. And around and around we go in the never ending cycle of tax, regulate and subsidize. And after a while we become hip to the reality that big business and big government collude....for every tax, theres a subsidy and regulation squeezes out the smaller ...as Hillary Clinton said; "less capitalized" businesses. We watch this process of centralized consolidation over and over and then realize that its happening on an international level as well. Only the regulatory agency is the UN, clean out of reach to the American voter. And the IMF, the WTO, the World bank, the security council and the human rights commission all combine to give us the modern version of the tower of babel. Isn't it fun !!!!
