But capitalism mixed with pressure from environmental groups mixed with state imposed regulations work to an extent. Some states may move slower and some faster. Asking the Fed to make blanket rule changes could cause much damage to the slower moving states. They might need to be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. > And I'm pissed at how this Administration has screwed over our kids.

(just for instance- > there are a ton more crappy, underhanded things like that going on) I vaguely remember debating that on this list. The government recommends you limit tuna and salmon to once a month because of the high mercury. But they don't want to kill the tuna industry. > Oh, /that's/ what neo-con is supposed to mean!?!?

Bush is definitely not a true conservative. Neo-cons are about the responsibility of being the worlds only superpower and making changes in places like the middle east rather then sitting back and hoping they don't notice us. That doesn't mean attacking for no reason as many think, but to recognize the threats and act. > Not at all dahrling!
