If problems become evident, then the government may act. But with the exception of drugs dispensed under the procedures governing prescriptions, it's pretty much a purely voluntary effort on the part of the maker and distributor. And an obligation of the buyer to be aware." She was skeptical, and I may have been wrong in some details, like what is governed and subject to scrutiny; what is the responsibility of government. But this was during the Bush II years (dark times) and laissez faire in all things, along with the programmatic defunding and de-legitimization of government was at its peak. <div>The mood by those in power was that gov't. was only as good as it was not, and it's only legitimate function was defense of the people. </div><div><br /><div><br /><br /><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/06/business/global/06toyota.html?ref=global-home&pagewanted=all">Toyota Owners Report Problems in Japan to No Avail - NYTimes.com</a></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width="1" height="1" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4649039904546083564-6202763917455995061?l=ooo-speak.blogspot.com" alt="" /></div></content> + <author> + <name>oulipo</name> + <email>[email protected]</email> + <uri>http://ooo-speak.blogspot.com/</uri> + </author> + <source> + <title type="html">ooo-speak</title> + <subtitle type="html">Mostly on OpenOffice.org, FOSS, and everything else.</subtitle> + <link rel="self" href="http://ooo-speak.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default"/> + <id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649039904546083564</id> + <updated>2010-03-06T18:00:20+00:00</updated> + </source> + </entry> + + <entry> <title type="html">marketing: Download Statistics</title> <link href="http://ooo-speak.blogspot.com/2010/03/marketing-download-statistics.html"/> <id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649039904546083564.post-795143047507037884</id> @@ -24,7 +64,7 @@ <subtitle type="html">Mostly on OpenOffice.org, FOSS, and everything else.</subtitle> <link rel="self" href="http://ooo-speak.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default"/> <id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649039904546083564</id> - <updated>2010-03-06T06:00:21+00:00</updated> + <updated>2010-03-06T18:00:20+00:00</updated> </source> </entry> @@ -74,7 +114,7 @@ <subtitle type="html">Mostly on OpenOffice.org, FOSS, and everything else.</subtitle> <link rel="self" href="http://ooo-speak.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default"/> <id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649039904546083564</id> - <updated>2010-03-06T06:00:21+00:00</updated> + <updated>2010-03-06T18:00:20+00:00</updated> </source> </entry> @@ -95,7 +135,7 @@ <subtitle type="html">a view from a dark hill</subtitle> <link rel="self" href="http://www.mealldubh.org/index.php/category/open-source/openofficeorg/feed/"/> <id>http://www.mealldubh.org/index.php/category/open-source/openofficeorg/feed/</id> - <updated>2010-03-06T12:00:14+00:00</updated> + <updated>2010-03-06T18:00:14+00:00</updated> </source> </entry> @@ -118,7 +158,7 @@ <title type="html">jpmcc's shared items in Google Reader</title> <link rel="self" href="http://www.google.co.uk/reader/public/atom/user/06203502505240591501/state/com.google/broadcast"/> <id>tag:google.com,2005:reader/user/06203502505240591501/state/com.google/broadcast</id> - <updated>2010-03-06T12:00:18+00:00</updated> + <updated>2010-03-06T18:00:17+00:00</updated> </source> </entry> @@ -187,7 +227,7 @@ <title type="html">jpmcc's shared items in Google Reader</title> <link rel="self" href="http://www.google.co.uk/reader/public/atom/user/06203502505240591501/state/com.google/broadcast"/> <id>tag:google.com,2005:reader/user/06203502505240591501/state/com.google/broadcast</id> - <updated>2010-03-06T12:00:18+00:00</updated> + <updated>2010-03-06T18:00:17+00:00</updated> </source> </entry> @@ -229,7 +269,7 @@ <subtitle type="html">Mostly on OpenOffice.org, FOSS, and everything else.</subtitle> <link rel="self" href="http://ooo-speak.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default"/> <id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649039904546083564</id> - <updated>2010-03-06T06:00:21+00:00</updated> + <updated>2010-03-06T18:00:20+00:00</updated> </source> </entry> @@ -299,7 +339,7 @@ <subtitle type="html">a view from a dark hill</subtitle> <link rel="self" href="http://www.mealldubh.org/index.php/category/open-source/openofficeorg/feed/"/> <id>http://www.mealldubh.org/index.php/category/open-source/openofficeorg/feed/</id> - <updated>2010-03-06T12:00:14+00:00</updated> + <updated>2010-03-06T18:00:14+00:00</updated> </source> </entry> @@ -395,7 +435,7 @@ <subtitle type="html">a view from a dark hill</subtitle> <link rel="self" href="http://www.mealldubh.org/index.php/category/open-source/openofficeorg/feed/"/> <id>http://www.mealldubh.org/index.php/category/open-source/openofficeorg/feed/</id> - <updated>2010-03-06T12:00:14+00:00</updated> + <updated>2010-03-06T18:00:14+00:00</updated> </source> </entry> @@ -432,47 +472,4 @@ </source> </entry> - <entry xml:lang="en"> - <title type="html">Itâs been so longâ¦</title> - <link href="http://www.mealldubh.org/index.php/2010/02/14/its-been-so-long/"/> - <id>http://www.mealldubh.org/?p=839</id> - <updated>2010-02-14T19:59:29+00:00</updated> - <content type="html"><p>At last &#8230; we now have a temperamental but intermittently usable broadband connection at home &#8230; and so much has happened in the past month.
