They may well be. I doubt that they are on the side of the "bought by

Dunno. But I was told that all the owners of SawStop were lawyers...enginers,
too, but also lawyers.

It really doesn't pay to use political labels in such situations, unless you
have an absolute love of being wrong 70 or 80% of the time.

Kinda like registering your handguns . . . once they know you've got a TS -
you're screwed. :-) I wonder if they'll levy a tax on the things and if
they'll fine you without having one? Then when they come out each year and
"test" your sawstop (at about a $125 fee of course) who will have to pay for
the weiner? And who replaces it when the gov't idiot says : "It's okay
now. Go ahead and replace it and fill out the new paperwork within 2
weeks."

Oh - I can see the proverbial "snowball" rolling downhill on this one!

But then again . . .

I live in Texas and since we're going through a re-districting battle down
here - maybe they'll have Houston in the Gulf of Mexico before it's all said
and done and we won't have to worry about it! LOL!

If you go to the SawStop website, there is a contact page. That gives

an email address of


Everyone should send them a polite email telling them that you do not
appreciate a private company using a government agency to extort money
from
private citizens. Maybe a few thousand emails will help educate them.



No, emails are easily deletedand ignored. Remember that sawstop first tried
to make a run by offereing their product to the public and not enough people
were interested. They presumably have a lot of capital tied up in
developing the product and want to recover their money. They are doing
whatever they can think of.

If you want to object where it counts, the agency they are lobbying must be
informed of our extreme disapproval. Who is it they are lobbying?
Hopefully some elected body.

And have us come and test the new one before you cut any wood with it
to make sure it is functional...

We must suppose you don't mind being wrong 70 or 80% of the time then,
mustn't we?

They must be. If they were liberal leaning Democrats they would be trying to
push through a tax bill to make everyone pay for the SawStop, even if they didn't
own a tablesaw.

Yeah, but as it is, they'll force them on everyone, and the Republicans will
borrow enough money to give to the rich to make sure they can afford at least
three.

Given the current behavior a la Medicare Prescription drug benefits,
letting Teddy Kennedy craft the education bill, the unconstitutional
denial of free speech rights in the campaign finance reform bill, you
could be correct.


with a
conservative bent?


Hardly. More descriptive labels here would be "statist" /
"libertarian -- with a small 'l'". The statist believes in the over-
riding interest of the state over the individual, while the anti-statist
libertarian holds that the state should limit its reach and exercise
only the minimum power needed to maintain peace and secure borders.
Unfortunately, we have been electing way too many statists of varying
degrees from both parties. It used to be that the Republican party was
predominantly anti-statist and promoted smaller federal government.
This sadly appears to have changed, with a competition between both
parties to see who can provide more "benefits" and "entitlements" in
order to win votes.
