I am sick and tired of all of you people on this blog trashing the government. Don’t you realize that without the all-loving state, we would not have those little messy stickers on apples and other fruit? Free enterprise never in a million years would have come up with such a great scheme. Why, the other day, it took me about 5 minutes to peel one of these very annoying stickers off an apple I wanted to eat. It came off it little itty bitty pieces. Isn’t that great!?! So, stop being such extremists and bashing the government all the time. Show a little appreciation for these hard working underpaid bureaucrats, civil servants and other paternalists. They are doing these things for our good, for the public good.
