There was recently (a week or two ago) that a woman was killed by an
elevator in NYC. The elevator suddenly shot up while the door was
still open! Her torso was leaning into the elevator and from the waist
down or so she was crushed between the car and the wall. The owner
failed many gov't inspections. Now, you can say the gov't was
incompetent to stop it. But imagine if there were never any
inspections. There'd probably be many more such incidents without
them. And if you still blame gov't, somebody has to do it! And who
would that be?

Get gov't out of free enterprise? You mean repeal anti-trust
legislation?
