Jay,


Well, a very serious argument can be made that the environmental regulations
of the last 30 years have seriously harmed our economy.



I don't think they are made to benefit the economy. By definition, one might

Remember when America used to actually *make* things?


Well, what do you expect in a country where the president publicly denounces
science and the scientific method? What does that do to science, which
ultimately is the very foundation of "making things"?

The president has done no such thing and has actually funded science and
technology reaonsably well.

And man was making things long before the scientific method was formalized.
