The gun registry here in Canada was a real good one.  $2 billion spent, 30 million people inconvenienced and no measurable decline in gun crime.

Lordy, i would be one of those people who has filed bancruptcy multiple times? I swear what is wrong with the government, if i was in office i would do my best to reduce the defecit. No more fancy schmancy parties and $3k toilet seats, please. And if some company or celebrity wanted to give me a gift it would go directly to reducing national debt. Politicians are only in it for the lifestyle

There is no incentive that I can readily  see, other than its cheap. It would be an environmental hazard.

The worst job I ever had was working in a chemical plant making worm killer for international agricultural use!  The stuff looked like runny peanut butter, smelled horrible & ruined six pairs of work boots in six months!  Needless to say, I got out of there at the first available opportunity!

This gets my vote for the best question ever!\n\nI oppose gov't spending on stupid liberal studies about usless topics, but I would love to see a private corporation fund that study.  The results could be fascinating.

I had to reposses people's stuff. The company I worked for was so dishonest and would trick old and needy people into taking loans and then when they wouldn't pay they would take all their stuff. The managers would steal stuff and would repo items not listed just because they liked the items. It was horrible.

One word. Greed! It's all about who makes the most money and who has more or the best. It really makes me sick. No one cares about the important things anymore.

It's all a waste of money, but it's a better and more inspiring waste of money than the real drains on the government's budget.  Actually, I'm already having second thoughts on that comment.  Read "What Do You Care What Other People Think?" by Richard Feynman.  Before the Challenger disaster, there were indicators everywhere that the shuttle shouldn't be launched.  Thanks in large part to the beauracracy of NASA, seven astronauts lost their lives.  It's a tough issue, but I still think NASA deserves more funding and attention.

Your'e  right.  It's  all  rubbish,  just  an  exercise  to  spend  more  money.  Publicity  stunt.

I agree. Party affiliation aside, I believe that anyone who wants to waste our time and money deserves ejection from office. It's insulting to the people who elected the official to be petty and frivolous.

Have you seen what the US gives out, for free?  No comparison!  Billions of dollars.  Do the math

The worst is Allstate.  You don't know how bad a company is until you have to make a claim agains them.

What's the purpose? It's a waste of time, the federal government with all their restrictions & taxes is the cause of high prices. Along with 'supply & demand'.

In one word....CORRUPT!
