Can We Have Clarity Over Where We Disagree?

In the past I have made the claim that tyranny is all around us and that our freedoms are being eroded in a thousand little ways. Please watch the following. This is a fascinating back and forth on a congressional inquiry panel as broadcast on CSPAN. I don’t know who this congressman is (I assume he is a congressman) but he just became my favorite. A calmer Governor Christie. Note that the EPA (I assume) policy maker either A) did not understand the question or B) she refused to speak her truth. Either case is troubling. She started jibbering some answer that referenced bi-partisan backing and a partnership between the executive and legislative branches.(???). She missed it. What she should have said is that “we believe that if we let people do what they want they will make choices that we think are bad for society or the environment or both and we therefore think it is appropriate and better to forcefully limit the choices of the populace for the betterment of all — as to be determined by us — unelected officials of government agencies.” At least if she said that we could have clarity of disagreement and begin an important debate that this country so very much needs.
