There's regulation and regula-
ton. In Germany for instance,
people are so regulated they
can't call their souls their own.
But in a democracy, a certain
amount of perfectly normal reg
ulation is okay.
For example, Uncle Sam in
spects the meat sold in the
butcher shop before it gets to
your table,.
And the restaurant you lunch
in is inspected regularly to pro-
tect your health.
You don't knoW all the vari-
Gus, perfectly normal things
done in this country to protect
the community-you and yours.
