that this is a fight by the Council of Bishops that goes far beyond birth control. But the push back from the public is giving some Bishops concern, and the thrust of their fight may be changing in more obvious ways.

Corporations have essentially won the war to reduce their taxes to zero.
Their next goal is to downgrade governmental regulations to the same endpoint. The Dept of Agriculture has a mission to foster and the support production and distribution of food, and so the U.S.D.A. puts that at a higher priority than regulating the quality of that food.

This argument really illuminates the issue of government over-reach because it is far more than a left vs right or rural vs urban issue. It comes down to choice. From my classroom experiences, I know that people given choices are much happier than people forced to comply. People choosing balance their own needs and values, becoming at the same time more responsible for themselves. |

We basically allowed a giant 'tragedy of the commons' to occur for decades with the air and water that we consume. Even if someone were to eat organic food and drink water from a source miles from the nearest city, a blood test would still show trace amounts of compounds in their blood that probably did not exist 100 years ago. It seems that scientists are constantly reassessing safe exposure levels since the data takes large population samples and decades to quantify. Drinking so much of this at once will kill a person. Being exposed to so much will increase the risk of cancer by such a percentage. For everything that modern chemistry has given us, it has also made us human guinea pigs. |
