If I'm not mistaken we discussed this briefly at the 2014 SSCA?

I guess if the Boyle/Cook crowd gets their way, we'll have to change the 5 lift format of the seminar to include more Wobble Board Squats.

We've discussed this several times, in several venues. It's a damned serious problem, and we'd better get ready to deal with it.

Almost makes you want to be an anarchist.

What would an anarchist advocate in this situation?

Depends on what they wanted to have unlimited freedom--people or people's ability to move capital.

What would an anarchist advocate in this situation?

As you said, get ready to deal with it - yourself and the people around you. On top of that, teach people that intervention by the state as we know it is morally wrong. Libertarian-type individuals should disregard fallacious appeals to consequences when arguing with statists, too, to counter the inevitable "but who will build the roads/feed poor people/make sure personal trainers are of 'x' quality" ignorance. The existence of the state is moral problem, period, and has no business anywhere much less in areas concerning the way people train/exercise/whatever.

You're just not good at answering questions that have a concrete answer. The State of Texas proposes a State Board of Exercise Prescription Examiners. What would you do? I already know what you're going to type.

...teach people...

With all due respect, it seems this was missed. If not, where does one logically get the definition that educating is not doing something?

It's simple, sad, but true. Start giving the right people money now. Microsoft used to think it could get by without lobbying and it bit them in the ass. They know better now.

Start lobbying Texas now before that shit happens. Dan Patrick is pretty big on reducing govt intervention. At least he was when he got his start down here in Houston, social shit notwithstanding. Abbott, on the other hand....but the Lt Gov has more power.
