when people find that they can't find a readily available source of clean water, they will find out why. when they find out why, they will find out who. when they find out who, they will MAKE that company fix it, or that company will cease to exist.

If a product is made that will injure people without the precursor of 'irresponsible use', then that company will cease to exist.

The air traffic controllers do not need to be federally regulated. As a former Air Traffic Controller, we all take our jobs very seriously. If an airport cannot maintain standards for safety, they will cease to be an inlet for air traffic, hence, their economy will suffer.

everyone needs to learn how to read. Why do kids out of poor school districts not know how to read now? put responsibility back on the parents.

Let the communities (or as you would call them, slums) take responsibility for their own roads.

Those angry housewives would know alot better what to shutdown and what to leave alone if they didn't have a usurping federal authority trying to think for them.

With the current court system we have, yes. If we had a fair libertarian court system, they wouldn't. Those 'libertarian' justices would rule according to natural law and the constitution, not according to a political party principle.
