“Sometimes governments act so ridiculous that they clarify the true role of the state. Government chiefs claim they want to reduce environmental damage and promote energy conservation, but in practice, they punish people for doing this. A clear example came to light in a news article in the Los Angeles Times on May 6, 2008. A mechanic was using fuel made of fryer grease for his fleet of motor vehicles. Government’s response was to slap him with fines, paper work, and taxes.” (05/13/08)
