I get this feeling sometimes that a lot of laws are created under pressure from well-intentioned do-gooders, then get perverted by self-sustaining bureaucrats.

Had you gone into politics instead of journalism, Phil, maybe you could get someone who gets a big contract from the state or county to put in another bathroom for you gratis – and replace that tank, too, while they’re at it. They just passed another law about taking cardboard from curbside. Where, when they finally bankrupt everyone, will we get the boxes we will need to live in? And if you are lucky enough to find a grate to put your box over, they will tax the grate.

We are being led by the blind to the edge of the precipice.

You are getting off cheap Phil. Thank your lucky stars you don’t have a bath house to make ready for your friends. What do you think the chances are you can use other people’s money to take care of the oil tank. Maybe the County Board Of Legislators can put it to a vote, it would be a slam dunk, they live for spending other peoples money.
