European Union Policies and The Spill Over to America

April 15, 2007

Hey y'all,

Some of the controlled, standardized, globalized, idealistic rules to

control the daily lives of citizens that has been generated by and is

now being exported by the EU is giving the average rebellious American

a case of heartburn. We've discussed this in detail on this list.

Martin confirmed the EU's lack of ability to enforce regulations they

put in place. One of the reasons is they failed to install an arm of

enforcement prior to implementation .. one of the other reasons (I am

convinced) is that many of the member countries who are supposed to be

bound by these regulations (including rules restricting the use of

natural products) don't agree with them .. and as I said yesterday, I

believe folks will normally disregard laws they don't respect.

As I wrote yesterday, I am not going to lose any sleep over attempts

by the FDA to control the use of natural products in the USA. In the

first place, I'm not sure they can or will do it, in the second place,

if they do get some regulations in place .. I believe they will not be

capable of enforcing them and in time, a backlash of public disgust

will result in them being withdrawn. What is happening now is being

reported by the media from the left and right of center .. the sly,

but obvious attempts by Big Pharma to control and the possible

conflict of interest on the part of the FDA are obvious to even the

most casual observer. This will (I belive) backfire on them in time

and if someone in the FDA upsets the media .. they'll go after them

and get some blood.

In the USA today .. it appears that in some cases those who have great

influence over the lives and fortunes of others are also those who

have the most skeletons in their own closets .. but they can still

wield big sticks .. examples are the News Media .. Al Sharpton and

Jesse Jackson. ;-)

There are many problems in the EU .. we don't need these problems and

I am convinced that most Americans won't tolerate them. For more than

25 years I have forecasted (and hoped) that the EU would wake up some

day and realize that they are creating a recipe for disaster. The

system is not Democratic .. therefore, it is Autocratic .. it is what

the European people wanted to avoid in the first place and I believe

that they're not going to be satisfied living under such a system.

They will rebel.

The original idea of a European Community was based on very valid

reasons but in my opinion, their attempt to create the Perfect Utopian

Society has gone far beyond the original intent and has created a real

monster.

Less Government is ALWAYS the Best Government!!!

Lots of articles on the EU and their problems here.

I agree completely. I'm just not going to get in a tizzy over this anymore.

I'm going to continue creating and selling my products, with or without

approval, permit.

I'll comment on the FDA site and write my duly elected reps but I'm not

loosing sleep over it.
