today’s news and information gleanings from here and there!
Quote for today… “This is another fine example of an over-bloated government sticking its nose in the working man’s business and damaging his name and fortune rather than helping him and the economy.” – Line from Letter to the Editor in today’s Sunday News. [NOTE: Sorry, letter writer, Columbia news, views & reviews stands on the side of food safety. Excuses abound, but this is a fine example of government doing what it ought to do: try to assure safety for its citizens to avoid incidents as this.]
