Shorter version.....'Captive Regulations' are the 'regulations' that the writers ARE the people being 'regulated' in conjunction with whatever government they are writing it with...making sure that the hen-house is guarded by the correct foxes. It helps keep 'other foxes' from gaining access, and exerts the maximum security for their own brood. It is marketed to the people of being some wonderful, visionary necessity for the people's own 'safety', and publicized as being either 'right' or 'left'....Whether Obama or Nixon is seen as a 'Fascist' or not, is virtually irrelevant! It's all the same thing.
