Quote:I understand that, I'm just saying the power to regulate is what gives the opportunity for other branches of government to one day over-see. Because the airwaves are already regulated by the FCC the government was able to create a situation where it was legal to control the airwaves to the degree we have now.

 

I'm not saying that IS what's going to happen, I'm saying that's what I fear MIGHT happen, and them holding over 300 pages of regulations in secret concerns me.

 

Again... you should at least try to read one of those government documents.  I highly recommend the affordable care act.  If you aren't tearing your hair out by the time you finish with the third page (that's NOT table of contents) then congratulations.

 

In fact here's a bit from the ACA to give you an idea of what government documents tend to be like:
