    Dirty fingernails - By David Hines, RenewAmerica
    There are some who think we ought to force the rest of the world to abide by Capitol Hill's labor and environmental dictates. Though our Constitution does not even mention OSHA, the EPA, etc., it is believed that these bureaucrats ought to dictate labor-management relations all over the world. Ironically, many are the same ones who oppose a 'war for oil' in Iraq. Instead of oil, they believe, we ought to be fighting to enforce Congress' unrealistic mandates.

    Why do I consider them unrealistic? Somebody has to get dirty fingernails. If not us, then someone else. Nothing of value is produced without somebody getting dirty. We can't sell junk to each other if no junk is being made.
