Getting back to the original post --

A lot of times when broad brush one-size-fits-all federal legislation is implemented in the real world at the local level, there is a lot of stupid BS that does nothing to furthur the intent of the original law - it only causes needless misery.

When I have looked beyond the surface and past the knee-jerk reactions, I usually see that the Bush Administration's main goal is to minimize the stupid BS - accomplish the environmental goal without screwing the economy any more than necessary....
