Because we saw how pristine an environment there was on the moon and Clint's ancestors said why should the earth be the only f'd up thing in the solar system.

Clint, from a dedicated professional tree hugger (the gov't pays me for it anyway)it isn't about "saving the environment" but seeing to it that laws are followed to prevent further "Love Canals" etc. I know for a fact that without the laws and regulations concerning the pollution of the environment that the industrial processes necessary for our current life styles would generate far more pollution to the environment than is necessary. I know for a fact that without these laws and regulations that the industrial complex would willingly dump their "unprofitable" waste streams directly into the environment. I've seen it with my own eyes at facilities where they thought we weren't watching. And the environment that we are all wasting our time saving is the environment of clean air, clean water and clean land. Is your house a toxic waste dump? Should we allow others that are profiting from the sale of their items to destroy that which belongs to all? I know that they'll be the only ones that could afford air filters, water filtration and the best land left on which to live if we did.

Sorry for the thread drift.
