Regulation and govern, Ake, are words with very similar meanings... We have had a 30 year moratorium on regulating stuff and we now have arsenic and anti-biotics in our water, we have air that in many parts of the country is not at all safe to breath, we have oil spills that make the Exxon Valdez look like nuthin'... We have mines blowing up... We have a major decline in life expectancy... We have the highest infant mortality rate of any industrialized nation... We have slipped from 1st in math and science to 21st... We have had over 2400 police officers shot since January, 2000... We have stagnated wages of the working class... We have not seen our minimum wage (indexed) go up but go down... We have more poverty...

No, Ake... What we need is one shitload of regulation/governing...
