Only hat questioning the motives, competence, and American-ness of every government official and agency came into vogue in Nov 08. Before then, questioning the government meant you were a terrorist-lover. Now, it’s required for tea party membership.

Well.
The Chief Executive (President, Governor, whatever) has the right to appoint people to positions who share his vision. I might not like him or who he appoints, but that is his right.

And I am much more comfortable with rules promulgated by people who are experts and have a deeper understanding of the issues than a Congressman or legislator can ever hope to have, rather than a sickening mess of thousands and thousands of pages of laws.
