It is no concern of government whether a company is weasely or 
unethical, if they are not breaking the law.   If the ARE breaking 
the law then it is the job of the appropriate agencies to enforce it.

Over the years the government, at all levels, has become bigger and 
bigger.   It is involved with ever more aspects of our lives, 
regulating and overseeing and monitoring and influencing more and 
more things.

If any of you work for companies or, god-forbid, own youe own 
companies, you know what a burden this is.   Today businessmen can't 
lift a finger without having to worry about how this or that 
regulation - federal, state, local, provincial, etc, might impact it.

And then there's the TAXES it takes to pay for all this!

These regulations and taxes ALL come about the way Keith is doing 
it - one little regulation at a time.     Citizens and taxpayers are 
like frogs getting boiled - if you do it gradually enough the frog 
is boiled before he even knows it.
