It's going to be harder in the specific case of a specific offender
committing a specific offense, which is a court action they will dare
you to make so they can pile the $1000/hr. lawyers on you and forever
enjoy immunity from prosecution when the neocon Supreme Court rules in
their favor when they claim, "There's no concrete evidence that...
(whatever whatever you claim is harmful)"

It's easier to make the case that massive regulatory failure on all
fronts _is_ a kind of political plot, no matter how hard the agencies,
corporations and the administration with Congressional support try to
convince us that they need to cut budgets and let industries
self-regulate is in our best interests. The bad guys win in the end
because the corporate media will promote a version of their case that
defuses any organized opposition.

The trend is clear from well-known failures at all of the regulatory
agencies. Just the cutbacks on meat inspections are a notable failure
for consumers. The cutbacks to budgets and accommodations to industry
that have taken place _are_ a concerted effort to let companies have
their way with us. In those terms, it's a political plot.
