Government is a Ball and Chain
There you go, the light poles effecting bats flight path, deviating
from a natural environment, now that study might take years to
complete to show the risk to the survivability of the bat population.
Here in the US it's all tied up by the EPA and DNR, we can't breath
without them doing a study.

Best way to crush anything, is to get Congress and Politicians in
charge of it, look at Iraq, it's like invading California. They can't
win a war against California with all we have plus help from the other
nations? It's pitiful, Half of congress are idiots and already
surrendered, and the rest won't fight. If I want to loose or fail I'll
call Congress to the task. Education - kids are dumber than ever. The
War On Poverty -- still plenty of poor out there. Drug prevention --
easier than buying alcohol. Immigration -- (Protect the Borders)The
most Basic charge in the Constitution and they failed miserably, 12
million illegals and illegals as terrorist hijacking air planes.
Your looking at everything in two dimensions, try three or more.
I painted the picture below with the accomplishments of the
Government, toilets and washing machines. Neither one is an
improvement.
Did you know that it's the government that forces new toilets to flush
with 1.5 gal of water? Thank them when you call a plumber to unclog
the lines, because the waste lines were designed to drain with 3 gal
per flush. Some people shop for older 3 gal toilets.
Are your whites not so white, did you know that you can't use as much
hot water to do your wash, the government mandates a timer to limit
hot water going into your washing machine.
NASA the military, $10,000 hammers and toilet seats...
I offered examples to help you understand how ineffective government
is. You think I'm whining, I'll throw in the towel. You love
government and don't get the bigger picture that I was attempting to
paint. If you can't see what you said to me, about the discrimination
of immigration and taxing "Dumb. But it's your own bigotry and greed
you're paying for." Instead of noticing that I'm being taxed and they
used bigotry against me to do it. Once again the government has
failed, it's segregating people and only taxing those it thinks it can
shake down and get the cash from and ignoring those illegals they
think aren't worth the effort.
The carparks won't be done by private sector because it's a financial
lead balloon, and you can't expect the government to accomplish a
thing. The government is a barrier that regulates private enterprise
from accomplishing things, and government is too inept to accomplish
those things.
Waking up should be fun, you go out and see how much better life is
today... it sure is grand to realize you took two steps back.
