I find news stories like this very disappointing. They are disappointing because they show a breakdown of our freedoms and a trend in overreaching government on a seemingly comatose American public. As the Nanny State gathers momentum, stories like this will become more and more common.
The over regulation of America strikes again and the latest victims are from Lincoln High School in San Jose, California. A group of Cheerleaders were forced to cancel a fundraising car wash scheduled for Oct 20th. Their goal was to raise enough money to go to the national cheerleading competition. The city's Environmental Services Department made a visit to the students to make them aware they would be in violation of the city's water discharge laws. Apparently the soapy runoff is dangerous to the wildlife because anything that is not rainwater or storm water is a pollutant. This left the students options to buy a waterless solution for $159.00 a gallon or move to a grassy area where the soap would not go into the street. The school has cancelled the car wash and all similar future events. If you live in San Jose, this law also applies to individuals at home who want to spray down their car. Laws like this will only continue to get a tighter grip on society because this kind of control always moves forward, never backwards.- BDB
