As to hers erg I think him and I mostly agree but the difference is timing, I don't think his fears will be realized in the next 10 years for a variety of reasons.
I am of the standpoint that you complain about what's at hand, Neither of these products exist for sale, that is my complaint, I would worry about legal issues when I can buy the product and not before.
Also we have the power to alter laws, even to our own detriment, I have no doubt specific elements of pollution laws, gray market laws, laws against small homes and other elements of law can be changed with a concerted effort by grass roots elements.
If something irritates me enough I will go to the effort to cause greater irritation to the special interest and the government element in control of it such that they reconsider.
I've done it before, sometimes I think people forget their own power but it has to be a very specific change to work. A threat of the correct type (legal) can sometimes dumb found pure stupidity and stop government actions.
Civil disobedience has its place as well but it must be for a very narrow reason and directed toward specific individuals to work.
I say the above because I might sound like a negative nancy , the truth is I am frustrated by the lack of speed and type of changes coming down the pipe.
More irritating still is the fact that I might have to get off my arse and fix it.
