Wacky and wackier!!

So if the government does something that makes it OK for private industry to do. I mean, if the gov't accounting is not good then Enron's doesn't have to be good!!

If the gov't dumps nerve gas on people then private indurstry could, too. After all, all products need to be tested.

If the government manufactures nuclear weapons, then private industry should, too. Free market, and all that. Capitalism. There's demand for those things, trade should be free, unrestricted. "The free market ALWAYS works!!" Remember?

Some of us, only one or two on this board, thinks there are things the government shouldn't do, and one big, dumb killing machine doesn't excuse all big dumb killing machines.

You have a wacky sense of propriety.
