Well, I'm not one to point fingers at government regulatory bureaucracies, well, that's not true, actually I do on occasion. However, I justify this because someone needs to watch the world's governments so that things don't get out of hand. In fact our founding fathers were quite concerned about the US population becoming lackadaisical and allowing the intrusion of government into our daily lives. Still I ask, what about our businesses?
You see, it seems to me we have a little bit of vigilantism going on in many of our regulatory agencies. We have folks that have joined the bureaucracy to enforce their view of the world upon all of us. Perhaps they have a fantasy that communism is nice, or socialism is the right way to run a civilization. Now that they have a little bit of authority, they go out and enforce their view of the world onto all of the businesses and, regardless of the reality of the current law.
Now you might think that this doesn't happen very often, but I assure you it does. Not only does it happen at the federal level, it is quite common at the state, county, and even city level. Of course, it hardly stops there, we have socialist left-leaning thinkers even running HOAs, and special assessment districts.
MSNBC had an interesting article posted on May 31, 2012 titled; "EPA planes spying on ranchers? Lawmakers want answers," by Miguel Llanos which stated "Nebraska cattlemen's group is pushing the Environmental Protection Agency to stop pollution-control flights over ranches, claiming it amounts to spying on citizens. EPA, meanwhile, says the flights are an effective way to quickly spot -- and stop -- pollution from manure lagoons and other waste at large livestock operations."
Well, I have one phrase to American Businesses; "Get Used to It" because the bureaucracy is more often than not these days acting like the Borg. Further, I suspect, and this is just my personal view, that the EPA is going hard and heavy after livestock ranchers because they have far too many individuals who are animal rights activists within their organization. It seems that the EPA is now filled with folks who are quite left-leaning. In many regards that makes sense, because it is that segment of our population which so readily accepts the environmentalist branding.
What I'm saying to you is this; whereas it might be wise to use unmanned aerial vehicles with special cameras to go out and enforce environmental water pollution laws, it is quite another to have these helicopters, or UAVs scaring the cattle. That seems to be cruel and usual punishment to a poor cow which doesn't understand what that thing up in the air is doing, and therefore it puts undue stress on the animal.
This causes the very thing that these environmentalists and animal right activists are against. Of course, it's okay if they do it, because they're supposedly doing it for a good cause. I question that. I hope you will too, so please consider all this and think on it.
