Those who suggest those opposed to this regulation are anti-government or regulation are missing the real issue. Those who compare this to drug regulation, building inspection or airline safety are comparing apples and oranges.

I have a choice with the saw blade, and I can see what I am paying for and evaluate the qualities, safety and features.

When I buy prescription drugs or go into a public building or fly a commercial airliner, we as a society expect to have an implied level of safety. I do not have the ability or access to confirm the quality or safety. I have assigned that role to others with the knowledge there is a cost associated with it.

In those cases, it is the proper role of government to regulate and set standards.

But when I can make an informed decision with transparency of information, then there is no legitimate role for government regulation, only those who wish to impose their agenda on me without my consent.

This sounds like a very useful book. I would love to get a copy.

Thanks for entering me in contest.
