8/9 Who said this: "Approximately 80% of our air pollution stems from hydrocarbons released by vegetation, so let's not go overboard in setting and enforcing tough emissions standards from man-made sources." \_ go go google. Ronald Reagan (10 Sep 1980) \_ He was right then and he is right now. Reagan rules! \_ Riiiight. -Dr Evil \_ Someday you'll understand. \_ eh. what a dumbass thing to say. we were worried about dangerous chemicals dumped in rivers and CFCs, and he's talking about hydrocarbons? \_ He right. Tough environmental standards reduce the effectiveness of American industry and cause big losses in jobs because industry will move overseas to more hospitable countries. What's the point in "preserving the environment" when people are going to go hungry and die in the streets because they can't get jobs to buy food. \_ This doesn't quite hold up in a country with ~4% unemployment. Ask the workers in those countries overseas if they have a "hospitable" working environment. Get a fucking clue before you start blathering. --scotsman \_ It always amuses me when people jump to these absurd ideological extremes to validate their viewpoint. It's something that I see from highschoolers most commonly. It just seems so strange that someone could swallow someone else's specious argument and internalize it so fucking readily without really investing any of their own thought. Of course, maybe that's one of the reasons the preferred age for new army recruits is in the late teen age range. |
