TWO FACED II
State on Verge of Greenhouse Gas Restrictions
The governor was pleased. "The success of our system will be an example for other states and nations to follow as the fight against climate change continues," he said in a statement released just after top Democratic lawmakers announced the agreement.The deal was also seen as a rebuke to the Bush administration, which favors voluntary efforts to reduce greenhouse gases.
Why is it OK to make reduction of toxic emissions—CO2 and the like—voluntary for the polluting industries and not OK to let marriage be voluntarily regulated by the States or for whether or not to have an abortion up to the mother? There are a host of trampled personal rights that the bushers have no problem with trampling.
Oh. I see. The results are still out on global warming as well as the effects of pollution.
We cannot afford to regulate industry. The debt ridden economy will not allow it.
And so on.
