When I look at these things, I'm ...Thanks, KG.<br /><br />When I look at these things, I'm like you, totally suspicious of what it's true intent is, or thinking that politicians are so useless that they'll bungle their way through just to make it look like they're doing something.

I doubt it. My default position..."Wrong?" I doubt it. My default position is to <i>always</i> be deeply suspicious of any politician or bureaucrat's plans to meddle in our lives.
