To be governed...

I was watching some public access station which was airing local politics, it was a tiny city government in a town around where I live, they were discussing how they are going to implement some new green housing codes, which as they said according to the EPA's own estimates it would cost the average homeowner 8 to 10 thousand dollars to bring their home up to standards. (a.k.a. over half the average person's yearly income) They all voted for it unanimously.

What was interesting was one of the people on the board, this older Russian man, commenting saying, "we shouldn't talk about this until after the summer is over, people are paying too much attention during the summer."

Well, isn't that interesting. So here in our local area, our little local government is busy micromanaging the plebes just as the mini Hitlers in Washington are, even going so far as to openly say with the full knowledge they are being recorded 'lets shove this down everyone's throats when they are not paying attention.'

These people are total predators, it's ridiculous, and they know full well they can just go hog wild looting and pillaging because for the most part no one even knows what they do or even that they exist. I know personally I just assumed they were doing pointless little local tasks, rezoning etc. I didn't think they would be forcing everyone to go green under essentially the barrel of the gun. Who even knows what other crimes they are casually committing? - Chris, IL“To be governed is to be watched over, inspected, spied on, directed, legislated over, regulated, docketed, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, assessed, weighed, censored, ordered about, by men who have neither right, nor knowledge, nor virtue”. - Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

So, should people be allowed to effect the environment with no impediment whatsoever?
Understand, I'm not for allowing an illegitimate bureaucracy to decide what's best for all of us, but should there be no rules at all? Suppose I wanted build a 40 story skyscraper in my back yard with no safety checks or any accountability to the people around me.
I don't think the problem is having some standards for behavior, the question is how should the be devised and implemented.

"Common sense rules".
Commen sense has all the boundries needed and anything that oversteps that boundry should be rejected.

We are now at the stage where they don't have to lead us, with our CS constantly being undermined at every turn, we just get on with it.
Our common sense has been errroded by a group of people who themselves know that they could not survive on common sense, so the obvious happens.
"They are few, we are many", That's common sense.
Let CS prevail.

Please note: InformationLiberation is neither liberal or conservative. When one takes the time to research the "liberal elite," whom the conservatives oppose, and the "conservative elite," whom the liberals oppose, one finds both "elite" are one and the same. "Liberal" or "Conservative" is not a substantive choice, it is only the carefully crafted illusion of a choice, for both parties come together when they are instructed to.

"The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the Government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson."
A letter written by FDR to Colonel House, November 21st, 1933

"Fifty men have run America, and that's a high figure."
Joseph Kennedy, father of JFK, in the July 26th, 1936 issue of The New York Times.

If you care to know who runs the world you live in, view these films. If you care not then I leave you with this quote to ponder:

"There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution."
Aldous Huxley, Tavistock Group, California Medical School, 1961 Audio - Transcript
