I am not comfortable with government intervention in situations that can be settled without it. I appreciate the non-governmental efforts that can settle those situations. Those non-governmental efforts often seem to have more and stronger positives (in cases like this one, for example) than simply throwing a law or regulations at something. Classes. Shop hops. Corporate affiliations; shops with sewing machine and/or fabric manufacturers. Teachers. Service (a really big plus for lqs). Lqs with online capabilities. Quilt shows. And I think the list will grow.
My vote is to stop government handling of projects, problems, issues, etc. that don't need government to handle them.
