Without exception huh?  That&#x27;s a ridiculous statement, and I&#x27;m guessing you come from a privileged enough background that you don&#x27;t appreciate all the benefits you gain by living in a highly regulated society.  I for one am perfectly happy about the ban on lead paint.  And requiring folks to disclose asbestos if they know about it.  An unregulated market decides all kinds of awful things - slavery is very desirable from a pure market standpoint.  Or employing poor kids to repair textile mill machinery - you can always fire them for incompetence when they lose an arm or leg in the gears.
