The Successes Of EPA
EPA Administrator took the occasion of Earth Day to talk about the four greatest accomplishments of the environmental agency:
Acid rain. Toxic leaded gas fumes. Dangerous DDT. Rampant air pollution. These environmental challenges once seemed impossible to meet, and they put our nation’s air, water, and land at risk — not to mention our families’ health. The dangers they posed were real, but you probably haven’t heard about them in a while. There’s a good reason for that: We put smart policies in place to fix them.

Damn those hippie environmentalists and their concern for the “environment” … how dare they stand in the way of free enterprise with their concerns about pollution’s effects on the planet and its people!
