Accepting campaign contributions from companies that pollute is something just about everyone does, and is not itself an example of reducing environmental regulation and protection, so it is pretty much irrelevant to this conversation. "SDI nuts", "religious extremists", "End of Days nuts" ect. are even less relevant. You get pinned down in one area of a topic you change the conversation to another area, you get a solid response there and you ignore it, or change topics completely, only to return to your original point later as if it had never been answered. Please try and stick to the point for once an actually develop and argument and respond to counter arguments. You made some specific statements about Bush, that I responded to. Even if Bush is generally as bad as you say he is, that doesn't mean the specific charges you made are true. If you can't back them up than you should withdraw them, or at least stop pushing them in new posts. Out of the many thousands of environmental regulations, which ones has the Bush administration repealed or rescinded? Be specific. Saying "Bush hates environmental regulations", or talking about SDI is not an argument for his case, its a simple and mostly irrelevant rant. You might actually find a couple. Now what percentage of the regulations have not been repealed or rescinded? 99.99% 99.9999%? Certainly over 99.9%. What year do you have to get to in order to have a greater number of enforced environmental regulations than we have today. From your rants you would think it was something like 1846, but its really never because we have more environmental regulations in force today than in any previous year. Tim
