Carol, I'm sorry to hear that your life has been lived in pain due to the many polluters that have no consceince when it comes to poisoning the earth. Indeed there has to be a better way to regulate pollution in America, but unfortunately it seems that no party wants to make a real change. Common sense is a rarity in D.C., on both sides of the aisle.

My one wish is for a party to be strong but fair with regard to the environment, somewhat socially liberal, and fiscally conservative with regard to individual rights (do what you want to, just don't tax other people to subsidize it). The libertarians have some good ideas, but are too laid back in several areas. The Green party makes some sense on the surface, but advocates virtually pure socialism, when you look closer at their party platform. The Democrats, well, we know what I think about them. And the Republicans are just a milder version of the Democrats.
