Definitely too much Anglo influence in our country.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043279868308825316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22818602.post-73001306830642166432010-10-07T11:03:16.187-04:002010-10-07T11:03:16.187-04:00For the past 100 years or so it seems our politics...For the past 100 years or so it seems our politics are becoming more like British and European politics. <br /><br />European banking, British copyright law, European anti-free-market regulations and European high taxation all have replaced the original American versions. <br /><br />Same with voting on bills into law - handled by the party rather than the individual representative, which is how European parliamentary systems work, where all voting is based on party seats rather than the representative (he/she must obey/represent the party's vote). <br /><br />Note also how Britain lacks a written Constitution but instead "builds on the Magna Carta" (similar to how our Supreme Court works with interpreting the Constitution). Thus they were able to get away with more privacy rights violations since 9/11 than we were here, and it is major spy camera central today.<br /><br />I don't know why this is the direction of this country but it just seems to be going on.danqhttp://xcopfly.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22818602.post-60946777233180067852010-10-03T08:38:57.452-04:002010-10-03T08:38:57.452-04:00This document is over 270 pages and I haven't ...This document is over 270 pages and I haven't read the whole thing, but I don't remember anything about herbs directly. But lets say you did raise herbs as part of your family business, then the FDA, HHS, DHS, DOD, and the USDA can all come on to your property and shut you down, if they "deem" it necessary. <br /><br />You'll note the word "deem" is being used more and more in Congressional bills giving US agencies broad power to interrupt what the they deem appropriate. Scary stuff.<br /><br />Another element of concern has to do with Dick Durbin failure to read the bill he sponsored. I heard yesterday on the radio an interview with Durbin where he said he never read the bill and doesn’t know the particulars. What kind of an ignoramus is this guy? He sponsors a bill and doesn’t read it!Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043279868308825316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22818602.post-5881642491439375402010-10-01T22:18:18.732-04:002010-10-01T22:18:18.732-04:00Is this the one that subjects natural medicine to ...Is this the one that subjects natural medicine to the FDA that John McCain (like all 90s Republicans) reversed his stance on after 9/11?danqhttp://xcopfly.com/noreply@blogger.com
