The human body hasn't evolved to deal with the myriad substances of modern life ... if it wasn't around 4000 years ago, it is probably bad for you.  Aluminum metal doesn't occur in nature ... QED.

Last time I checked, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder was a REPUBLICAN... oops, still is.

And that means he's "small government"?

How's your problem with reality working out for you?

Well water tastes 1000 times better than city water. Yet one of my friends who grew up on city water thinks well water tastes like dirt.

Weirdo.

Depends on which well.  I tasted artesian water once, that was completely separate from the river water running above it.  Wouldn't drink any of that river water, but that artesian water (must have come thru the right rock formations) was heaven on a hot day.

Yeah, Joe, he's a Republican.  You have yet to show that this large government Republican is small government, and showing that he's a large government Republican instead of a large government Democrat isn't good enough.  Yes, he's in the wrong denomination of the one true religion, but that doesn't mean he's not a believer at all.

The guy has a proven track record of spending cuts. If that magically produces bigger government, I would like to see that magic wand. Secondly, if your population grows by 10% and your civil servant grows by 2% only, you are reducing government services to your population. Ditto for policemen, firefighter, teachers, and so on. But anyone who believes in no government, then any government is already too big.

Libertarians Call for Independent Investigation Into Flint Water Crisis, “All levels of government were responsible”

The small government approach, an independent (outside the government) investigator.

And who supervises that independent company? Another independent company? And what if that independent company fails and declares bankruptcy, how would they be paying for the damages? That article is full of holes, but for you, it's the true religion. So you've got to believe.

If the people can fail at electing good government, they can also fail  in hiring good companies. In the end, people are responsible for their act. Not getting informed on the issues, not voting, not taking the time and effort to become responsible - taking actions and not taking actions, both end up with consequences. But people have become so apathetic, that the people with big money rule unopposed. They've managed to corrupt politicians, judges and fool the people with distractions (read: circus). The history books abound with countries and empires that collapsed out of their own inertia - corruption, incompetence, apathy. We're just witnessing this process in slow motion.

So we agree that he's in the wrong denomination of the one true religion.
