I don't "like" government regulations. I accept them. I don't think the private sector is interested in anything other than "lining" their pockets and the public be damned.
In the absence of civil society and social cohesion I vote for government to protect public spaces. Ensure universality in basic areas. Call it government regulation or whatever. I say that taxes is the price we pay for civilized society. arthur -----Original Message----- From: Harry Pollard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 12, 2003 4:13 PM To: Cordell, Arthur: ECOM; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Futurework] FW The world of work Arthur, You like government regulations. You should emigrate here. For example: More than Clinton The Bush administration, philosophically wedded to the idea of smaller government, issued a record-high number of pages of new federal regulations last year, according to a study released by the Cato Institute. The think tank found that the Federal Register boasted 75,606 pages of federal regulations in 2002, up from a high of 74,528 pages in 2000, when President Bill Clinton was still in office. -- The Washington Post July 8, 2003 ---------------------------------------------------- I've also mentioned that California managed to pass 1,400 laws in one year. Come to California. Between the two governments (I hesitate to bring in County and City regulations) you should feel very safe.
