It's a definite balance, and believe it or not I agree on the possible overuse of regulations, some being repetitive. This is why the right people put in place is so important. Some regulation for example are ignored due to the fine doesn't substantiate them not doing what they are supposed to, they're happy to take the fine.
I don't think industrialist are bad, it's their actions that are bad, as in covertly dumping where they shouldn't be, poisoning rivers which in turn the animals or our water supply...etc. It is industrialist like Cheney who takes on a political position and then impacts the EPA by revoking a clean water act. Or Pruitt changing the laws for some DDT's when he himself had a lawsuit against the EPA. Do you really think he is the best neutral candidate for the job?

Waste as in what is spewed into the air, dumped into the earth and flowed into the water. We keep these things clean by regulations, not collecting tax dollars. It is requiring the people who create the waste by producing their resource which we then buy and when we buy it, part of that revenue should go to cleaning up that waste that was also produced. Do you not think that's fair, the people who create the waste disperse of it...correctly.

Get over this entrenched conditioned thinking the left takes from us, it is wrong, so wrong.

As far as extinctions you've asked me this before and I answered you, what were some of the latest extinctions, and I mentioned three different breeds of Rhino's, check also into fisheries, birds, plants, the coral reefs. It is happening... but we don't go running into the night screaming, we simply sit down and say...these are the changes we need to make. That's what we're trying to do but all we get is no conversation and just denial. No changes are made and the industrialists just keep on keeping on, and things continue to get worse and more difficult to recover.

Thank you ~e for your support

Nope, right on.

The word of the day for you following the same old extreme right wing mantra..." you lemming" blah blah blah it's old. I'm not getting into this far right sever slant on what happened it's a waste of my time, I've heard all the same BS. and you are nothing new my dear and if anything is a joke, it is you.

You continue to have the argument that because we use electricity or fuel we shouldn't complain about the waste that we incur developing these resources and that they are entitled to have no regulations to rein in on these wastes. That it is more important that they receive their profits without consequence to what they do to the environment. They have postponed and avoided what needs to be done to make a difference for decades, making only minor changes.

We really can't afford to push this off to the next generation and isn't that exactly what's happened to us, weren't we the "up and coming generation", this issue has been around for generations.

Isn't this similar to the tobacco industry who kept refusing to admit to the known damages of smoking, denying what was occurring to people, they were the ones who kept pushing that? I don't see much difference here, the way to get these changes made is to push back and the only way to do that is in the wallet.

No, that would be you...

Are you talking about the conservative whiny babies that dug a huge hole our which our country, under Obama had to dig us out of? Just as in self-sufficiency of corporate industrialists who have dug us into rapid global warming from their lack of responsibility. Who are now about to be sued for their damages.

My opinion has nothing to do with print or the media, but the lies heard on a live broadcast.You are the lemming believing a known liar. Don't you demand the same integrity out of your president as you would a close friend, or do you allow your friends to constantly lie to you?

That would be your perspective, not mine but some truth in what you say, I suppose Americans were considered violent hate groups when fighting the injustices of the British and at one time or another...foreigners. Most also were unwelcomed by the settlers. Some things haven't changed, people who have been allowed in, wanting to then decide who is not.

Yep, Taft was rather round, getting him out of the tub must of been fun for his "handlers". Slippery when wet...

Thank you Peter, the reasonably sane must stick together

I don't bother correcting one's grammatical errors because we all make them, it is petty and anal- retentive but in your case, I'll make an exception.

Trump has proved to be a loose cannon, is grammatically correct, Trump had proven to be a loose cannon is also correct, but you are being an anal critic. You've spelled the word experience incorrectly twice along with the word criticizing or criticizing but not critisizing.

As far as I can tell Trump had as much experience at being a president as emarine, except I believe emarine would be doing a much better job, he's not a lying lunatic.

Ok I misunderstood, him referring himself as also a genius threw me.
