These clowns aren't even politicians. Politicians get elected, no one voted for them. Politicians SELECTED them.

Hang on, I'm going to ramble to myself with my hands for a bit. Follow the bouncing elipses. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

So... If politicians are about 5 degrees out of touch with reality.... And they select bureacrates from thier "poli-reality"... Then the politicians kabitz about bureacrates being 5 degrees out of touch... That means these regs are created by offices that are headed by people who are ten degrees out of reality. And then they select the next tier down... And by the time you get the guys who "advise" on new policy, we are about 180 degrees out of it.

Yep, that explains everything.
