Where does the gooferment get off sticking its nose into medicine?
Every month, I am reminded of this intrusion. Here’s why. My wife has been a type 1 diabetic for more than THREE DECADES. (Nasty disease, but that’s another topic.) She’s been injecting insulin for those three decades. She uses a syringe. Every month the gooferment sticks its nose in her business. Syringes are regulate. Intelligent Designer forbid that drug addicts might buy clean syringes. So every month, the gooferment regulated pharmacy must check with the gooferment regulated insurance company for approval that she can have them. Every few months, the gooferment regulated pharmacy must check with the gooferment regulated doctor to see if she can have them. Here’s a novel idea. Leave her alone.
Laws, regulations, and diktats can not prevent humans from putting stuff in their bodies. Further, it’s THEIR body. If people want to do dumb things, who are you to tell them they can’t?
The government is not the nanny. End the gooferment’s “drug war” now. Shut down all the regulators. Stop licensing. There’s no gooferment inspection of electric appliances. There is Underwriters Libratory. Think WalMart will sell a non-UL appliance? Don’t get me started on the FDA! And, how it is killing us “for our own good”!
And, while Bush is doing pardons, he should pardon all non-violent drug offenders.
