Dave BTW you left this whole section out of the quote in your rebuttal. would that be becaus eit give s a soultion to the question you raise instead of just poiting a finger in a freidly room?

"We can stop it if we do not agree by a variety of mechanisms. Laws and regulations, negotiation,ecomimic pressures, legal recourse ,out right boycott of the end product and those associated with it's production. HArd to accomplish when we say no emotionally and then support the devlopment economically. Then say to our elected officals you will provide us a higher standard of living at a lower cost and with no environmental impact . Btw We also want to buy American as long as it is at the lowest price. If Bush came into office and instituted enviromental policies that raised your cost of living cost you more in taxes but protcted the enviroment at un precenented levels I think the howling would be much louder.
