It usually takes at least a little, or perhaps a lot, of ignorance to viciously hate gumbit agendas. Here, there is apparently some awareness of the potential fallout from dimwitted suggestions like abolishing OSHA. One would be higher insurance rates and increased construction costs. Another would be increase lawsuits from victims' families, and increased construction costs. Another might be increased wages for those who are willing to lay it on the line daily.....in the rain....cold.....on the 56th story.

And along the lines of darwinism, I would probably be more comfortable with the carpenters of the world having more kids than the stock traders. I consider carpenters to be probably smarter and without a doubt more productive.
