HERE WE GO AGAIN: Watergate II. Once in a lifetime should be enough....

HOW GOVERNMENT wrecked the gas can.

Soap doesn’t work. Toilets don’t flush. Clothes washers don’t clean. Light bulbs don’t illuminate. Refrigerators break too soon. Paint discolors. Lawnmowers have to be hacked. It’s all caused by idiotic government regulations that are wrecking our lives one consumer product at a time, all in ways we hardly notice.

I tried to buy a decent 5-gallon gas can when I bought my emergency generator -- they're not available. What's even more frustrating is that the generator itself has a 'safe' gas inlet which is incompatible with the gas can. I can't fill the generator without spilling at least some gasoline.

Almost every time I buy a new consumer item I wind up spending several hours disrupting the safety and 'help me' features to get the item to working reasonably well. Mostly I'm successful, but sometimes the safety fanatics are too damned ingenious.

You may thank the EPA, which is always looking for new and innovative ways to spread as much human misery as possible.

INCEST OR NEPOTISM? I choose incest....

A NOTE TO PROGRESSIVES: To play the 'moral superiority' card requires that, you know, you be perceived as being morally superior.

Laughingstock isn't it.

WE CAN "TRUST" BIG GOVERNMENT. "We can trust it to make a mess every time ... that it goes screechingly out of control."
