Surely this is satire ?

More government regulation ? Really ? Meaning even higher taxes in order to pay officials who will inspect it all ? My maxim in that regard is simple:

In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government IS the problem - Ronald Reagan.

If you want 29 people to keep dying each year then that's fine. We don't, however.

Quoting Ronald Reagan, the apocalyptic endtime fanboy who made the Taliban possible with generous donations from the American taxpayers, is never a smart thing to to, by the way.

His assessment was correct - his policies weren't.

I support this proposal. Too long have Americans lived in fear of the cervid menace.

Consider it done! While we're at it, let's ban mosquitoes and toilets.

That is not what The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy taught me.

Sounds like a good plan, but if Congress ever passed it, I think it would practically and economically be something like this:

All accidents which were caused by furniture both bought after the year 2016 and over 10 pounds shall herein not be covered by health insurance, Obamacare, or any other health plan or government program. All furniture manufacturers must, from 2017 onwards, herein be required to cease and desist from selling furniture over 10 pounds.
Most of the opinions expressed on this account are regrettable, horrendously misinformed, and downright reprehensible. I am retracting them all.
