IMO industrial safety, unions, and the Liberal government all suffer from the same flaw... they all need to be fighting a battle to continue to flourish as profitable entity. Therefore neither will ever be able to admit that a practical balance has ever been achieved, that the fight has been won, and by extension that they are no longer needed in the same capacity as they once were.
As a result, increasingly mundane issues are attacked head on and personal freedom is steadily chipped away at, until the would-be champions increasingly become the oppressors... which is precisely where we now sit. The really scary thought IMO, is once they've wrapped up this imaginary battle against evil, what will be the next BS excuse for their continued existence? Because if there's one thing I've come to understand... this never, ever stops. Not even when the guns are all gone.

Yes. Very well put, succinct, logical and exactly right. Bravo. It's all about having a 'cause' to validate those superior social engineers and their reason for being. Which is to not only tell other people how to live, but legally force them to comply, AND make them pay for the whole program with more and more onerous taxes. Because really, you don't really know how to be responsible for your life, and can't make decisions very well, so just go to work, we will take your hard earned money and leave you just a little bit...maybe give you back a rebate now and then so you can feel good about how we really care about and look after you...and don't rock the boat, because there will be consequences to opposing the New Better Way.
