From a lifetime of experience in dealing with multiple industries, I feel like several shouldn't be given the benefit of the doubt, including manufacturers and dealerships.  My issue with SOS is shutting them down, which they have the right to do, and doing a press release that lies and says this:

"LANSING, Mich. – Today, the Michigan Department of State (MDOS) suspended the license of LaFontaine Chevrolet Buick GMC of St. Clair, Inc. for imminent harm to the public. The vehicle dealership is located at 3050 King Rd. in China Township, Mich."

No harm was done to the public. Zip, Zero, Zilch.  An administrative issue was not correctly done, LaFontaine should do it correctly, but let's not pretend it caused harm to the public.

I think any department and especially one headed by someone that is elected by its citizens, should always question the legitimacy of any laws and regulations and if they are going to enforce them, I would like to think they understand them.  

What does the law say they do?   Should the FDA ignore things if the person inspecting that day is in a good mood?

Guess you’re right, but a little shocked you, Tigerholic, and Archie are all on the same side regarding ICE and getting rid of illegals.

John U Bacon has a new book out about it. I’ve been eating it all up. 

NO SPOILERS

I'm about 14% through the book and this is a great read. Thanks for the tip.

Is it just me or do those 4 pictures give a strong 60's vibe?
