Well in a way the rise of President Elect Trump is a smiting. I (and a great many others) did not vote for Clinton partially because of the behaviors observed coming from Democrat party aligned entities like universities, MSM, and social media companies.

Hope he fully recovers so he can punch a Mars-hoaxer in the face at 120 years old.

That's 100 percent right. Congress passes a law that mandates Ethanol in gasoline. The EPA takes off with that and regulates it narrowly in the beginning. But over time and before we know it, the EPA has regulated the living crap out of all aspects of it. Sorta like the Clean Water Act passed in 1972 that gave the EPA authority to define rules and regulate "navigable waterways" - meaning rivers and territorial seas. The EPA took off with that and now we wind up with regulations that cover ditches and dry land that may have water on it after it rains. How in the flippin' hell are those navigable. Oh the EPA gets to decide what the term "navigable" means. See how it works.

The bored bureaucrats at the EPA need to feel useful. They create regulations that will later require more regulations to regulate further what has already been regulated.

Except for making phone calls. But yes, I hardly use my iPhone for anything else because it does suck. My next mobile phone will be a flip-phone. If I need anything else, I'll use my tablet or even better yet my PC.
