I have no objection of insurring safety of 'public' areas. I was
refering to personal property and personal real estate.
For instance, I would like to install a small hydro-electric generator
on a creek that passes thru my property where I live. The
water management beuroacries are three levels make it so difficult
that it is next to impossible, unless you grease their palms with
extortion money under the pretense of fees, or give away part of your
property to some stupid fart bug.
That is government standing in the way of self-suffiency. And, of
course. They the goal is to make as many as dependant as possible.
Sad to say.
