In fact, the removal of onerous legislative barriers -- which is what
this bill attempts (and fails, BTW) to do -- will once again allow the
free market to prevail.

The free market fails when costs can be passed on to others without
recourse. Pollution passes costs on to others without recourse,
sometimes permanently. "Onerous legislative barriers" are one way to
ensure that this doesn't happen (as much).

Quite true.

But if no pollution is allowed, we'd be in real trouble. Even the smoke from a
campfire is pollution.


They are a Good Thing.
