Sounds like I wrote that manifesto!

Thought of you when I read it.

Dang and I have only lived 43 years by applying enough smoke to food to kill all those bad bacteria.

Or I've lived 54 years ignoring most of the taxpayer funded "suggestions".

Ross, they do some good, but like any US Guvment AGENCY...  They get their "directions" from congress, and they get their directions from the highest bidder.  I hate to STEP RIGHT IN IT (again), as I know many of my smoking brethren do not believe as I do, in a small and lean government, that cherishes freedom and liberty, BUT... The less government we have, the less corrupt government we have. 

That said... AS BAD AS THEY ARE, they're one of our BETTER "agencies"...
You should see some of the others that "help us"...   :o
