That sort of political maneuvering goes way over Patsy's head. That's why William the Bastard was so attracted to it...

Hey, Pro.... Re: "While I agree the advances have to be made on pollution reduction, do you also agree that to do it in a wholesale manner would kill the economy in the USA..." >>> Do WHAT? Be specific! I can't answer vague, ominous generalities. (By the way, there are many 'technologies to reduce pollution' that offer improved energy efficiency, and or lower societal healthcare costs... and so may be quite COST-EFFECTIVE. Several potential 'industries of the future', that the US used to lead in, now look like the lead has shifted to other nations... and we are on the verge of being denied the benefits of the increased employment, resource base, and economic strength, that we stood to gain if we had not lost our leads.) "... while other nations of the world just ignore most pollution standards?" >>> Er... SOME do, and they can be sanctioned for that in international trade to make it a most costly exercise for them (after-all, exporting death and disease to other countries is an actionable offense)... while some have much better records in enforcing environmental regulations than we do.... PS - you ignored my question: "if your next door neighbor was killing children, (with mercury pollution, or pesticide overuse), would you do anything about it?"
