You need balls to fight the government

The travesty of this parallels Gibson. Not as iconic, but equally punitive, and in this case, the company failed. And now the CEO is being sued by the fed for non existent damages. Overreach and a policy of punishing entrepreneurs is the MO of this administration. Time to fire back!

Thoreau. Civil Disobedience. He had more balls than I do!

  Greetings darlenelofgren,
  Thoreau's Walden is one of my favorite books. My mother gave me a beautiful old hardcover with a gold ribbon book mark years ago. It is always delightful to see others who appreciate authors with which I too am familiar.
  Respectfully,
  O.A.

    Yes! And nice for me to see someone else acknowledge an author I enjoy!

I would like to point out that the FDA has just done something similar to the genetics company 23andMe. The FDA has forbidden them to continue to provide the health analysis of the SNP's (they do about a million of these), though they can continue to provide the 'ancestry' portion of their service.

It is unbelievable to me that the government feels that it is its right to come between a commercial enterprise and knowledge of _my_own_ genes!

  Jan,
  Yes! I was just talking with some friends who luckily got their service before the ban. The reports are extensive and highly interesting-not to mention valuable to the purchaser. How dare they?!

Exactly how are they posing a threat? What damages? Anything can be dangerous if not used as intended...

    They don't make them like they used to. These days I keep watching movies labeled "comedy" on my satellite guide and waiting for the laughs... :(

      Sadly true. Watched part of 'Blazing Saddles' over the weekend. Classic!

        Blazing Saddles is hilarious. I agree with OA.

        I haven't seen that one in years, but I keep hoping it will be on. Was it on one of your channels, or did you watch it by some other means?

        It was on the comedy channel. :-)
        I personally think I need to buy it. It's worthy of parting with money for.

        You should be able to pick it up in the "value bin" at your local Walmart and sometimes at Costco.

        Darn... I missed it. I have the comedy channel too. :( Yes, one must occasionally spring for the classics.

      It's funny because that's the way I remember it, but it doesn't look like that any longer. The places we showed our horses are now condos.

Oh dear! Kids might fall off my dangerous ponies! Someone could get hurt (even though it's not happened in 20 years of doing birthday parties).

I guess they'll be coming to tell me to get rid of the ponies and fine me a gazillion dollars. Where should I slaughter the ponies? Maybe in front of the Jefferson Memorial?

Or what if my little ponies put beans (or Buckyballs) up their huge noses? Huge trouble lurking there, for sure!

  Yep. Could sneeze and cause a stampede.

    I can honestly say I never put things in my nose, or ate paste or crayons. I could shoot spitballs with some accuracy, however.

  I do martial arts. I have, a number of times, gone up to an acquaintance after he had had a hard fight against a bigger opponent and congratulated him, ending my actual sincere approbation with a straight-faced, "It took tits to do that."
  
  So, "tits" not "ovaries": shorter, more germanic.

I will be ordering some Liberty Balls. Screw the nanny. Perhaps Green Giant is next on nanny's list due to all the peas kids stick up their nose.

  They have some great t-shirts and tote bags too. Looks like some members of congress disagree with the action: http://saveourballs.tumblr.com/post/3275...

I am so curious as to why the government is opposed to Liberty Balls. i mean is the company anti-Obama?

  This is an off-shoot of Bucky Balls. Not necessarily that the company is anti-anything. But it is a regulatory agency that is out of control. They look to restrict anything based on any arbitrary criteria. Regardless of demonstrated risks.
