What government really is.

[BillyDkid]

I found this list on a blog and it was taken form the State web site of South Dakota which we might think of as one our more free states. Multipy this list by 10 million and you get some idea the kind of regulation and control each of us live under. It is hard to see any way ever to get out from under this unless it all collapses.

No one else is astonished by this? Sometimes in the summer, here in NY state there will be food vendors downtown. Everyone has about a dozen stickers on it from the government authorizing them to sell hot dogs. You can't just sell hot dogs. It's ridiculous.
