fletch, good exposure...
of the advocacy garbage (or "special interest groups")
This garbage has been growing so much, doing increasing damage to this country, that ive started making a list of all these garbage groups. Off the top, some of the filthiest: aclu, people (scum) for the (un) american way, peta.....
Then this garbage incites more garbage, doing more damage to the country: especially the garbage legal system, with perverted judges and other legal parasites.
The “business scares me” crowd frequently turns to a group of organizations and like-minded individuals who, oxymoronically, refer to themselves as “consumer advocates”. Let me be blunt: consumer advocacy is nothing but a thinly veiled scam designed to convince the gullible to embrace a liberal philosophy and demand that government must get ever more involved in the operations of business.
(GREAT DEFINITION, FLETCH. I would add about govt: ever more involved in everything under the sun, including peoples' individual lives.
i agree that it's all a lot of dishonest garbage. I think their goal in playing this dance, is to make permanent jobs for themselves, working their scams (including the scam that govt is). So they want to ensnare as many gullible as possible, and keep them ensnared, in order to perpetuate their jobs, status, and control. Then with those who arent gullible to buy their hoax, they seek to FORCE us into their garbage, with a constant onslaught of laws.)
This week, two “consumer advocacy” groups, Ralph Nader’s Consumer Federation for America and the aforementioned Consumers Union, testified before Congress that something must be done about the rise in gasoline prices. Their position is that more “oversight” over oil industry “market practices” is needed. It, of course, never occurred to them that the chief driver of higher gas prices has more to do with governmental regulations and environmental controls that demand different fuel “blends” as summer approaches.
(YES, IVE heard and read the same, for at least a year (about the govt regs and controls).
As to this "something must be done" routine, i think that's a pretty old routine about gasoline prices, but of course, in recent years, it's a favorite "advocacy" issue. These groups of liberal idiots spend their entire pitiful lives, wondering what they can complain about next. Ever being productive, is something they would never consider. But rather, what can they complain about, and how can they make trouble? We can bet that the "something that must be done", coming from the idiots involved, will make everything worse.
If they succeed in damaging U.S. oil companies enough, making the country even more reliant on foreign oil (from scum pits, such as venezuela, africa, and middle east), then my bet is that not only will that INCREASE the cost of oil and gasoline, it will make the country increasingly at risk to the destructive and murderous scum in the scum pits.)
