[QUOTE="av8torntn, post: 742791, member: 8259"] That's the perfect answer to validate the original article. So much so that it makes me giggle. You guys are entertaining if nothing else. The fact remains and nobody serious really disputes it that there is no lack of regulation in the areas you cite. If anything regulation is so complex as to make it almost impossible to follow them which leads companies to assume a certain amount of government fines and risk as a cost of doing business. It's dishonest to claim that there is no regulation to prevent the government from hiring or keeping someone corrupt. There are multiple regulations with the intention of the prevention of corruption in government. It is dishonest to claim there had to be no plan approved by the government in place to deal with a "worst case scenario". It was almost 600 pages long and approved just last year as flawed as it was. I'm pretty sure that you do not even know what cause the oil rig to explode but you assume that it was a lack of a mysterious regulation. To be a true liberal you must scream as loud as you can that we must have more regulations in place no matter the consequences those regulations may carry. Just as with the "markets" your government regulations have had unintended side effects. And just as the original article and polls suggest you choose to ignore that. [/QUOTE]
