Regulation Run Riled

Neal Boortz's WND Column

WorldNetDaily: Regulatory absurdity!

The average American would be hard-pressed to think of one single action they can take during the course of any normal day that is not in some way or another controlled or influenced by a government regulation. You can't even go to sleep without the help of our imperial federal government. Note, please, that little tag at the end of your mattress and the federally mandated label on your sheets telling you how they must be laundered.

The greatest treasure trove of regulatory absurdity can be found in the Americans with Disabilities Act. Never before in our regulatory history have good intentions been translated into a more hideous law. When you can't advertise a house with walk-in closets for fear of offending those who cannot walk, you know that you are some serious trouble.
