The Federal Register is where agency rules, notices, and new rules are kept. And except for Trump’s term, the Rules keep adding up – requiring specialized knowledge to keep out of court.

And did this huge increase in the number of regulations since 1970 (infesting our lives with directives on how Citizens can live their lives) give rise to this?

And we wonder why we are also infested with an overly litigious society?

Wait, is there any possible collusion between regulators and lawyers?

Nah, I must be dreaming….or overly tired. Or something…

As an evangelical Christian and Conservative with small "L" libertarian leanings, my fight is with Progressives forcing a collectivized, secular humanistic future upon us. As a TEA Party activist, citizen journalist, and pundit!, my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America's Founders back into our culture.
