Since the 1930s the Congress has delegated legislative, executive, and judicial powers to over 200 independent regulatory commissions. Those agencies enact over 90 percent of all federal law. They are ruled by individuals who are unelected and largely unaccountable to the Courts and Congress. Repeatedly they pursue their own self-interest at the expense of life and health.
Often the agencies become captives of the industry they regulate, as in the case of the FDA (captive to the pharmaceutical industry) because it is in the economic self interest of those who run the agency to obtain lucrative post government employment form the key industries regulated. The result is widespread corruption, biased and perverse enforcement of the law, and anti-competitive regulation.

Free Download Saloua Ali Ben Zahra, "Arab Islamic Voices, Agencies, and Abilities: Disability Portrayals in Muslim World Literature and Culture"
English | ISBN: 1498569579 | 2017 | 164 pages | EPUB | 552 KB
This book explores portrayals and predicaments of the disabled in Arab/Muslim post colonial North African and Middle Eastern societies in genres ranging from classical Arabic scripture to secular popular culture including Francophone Moroccan and Algerian fiction, Egyptian Middle Eastern film, as well as Tunisian song and television. In line with theorists Aijaz Ahmad and Ato Quayson’s objection to reading Third World literature as "national allegory," The author argues that rather than being metaphors or allegories, disabled characters represent persons with disabilities in their culture and act as a mirror upon their changing societies. Contemporary Maghrebians and Muslims with disabilities find themselves at an intersection of conflicting and competing cultures, their native Islamic culture and Westernizing lifestyles. In the rush to import everything Western, despite humanitarian Islamic teachings regarding the disabled, are often abandoned. In situations of fundamentalist menace, the disabled, who tend to be the most vulnerable and abused fraction of Arab/Muslim society, suffer the worst, especially women.
