The logical arguement says that you should look at your life and the upstream and downstram effect you have on the environment. Put the balme where it lies( betweeen your ears) and really do something about it before you point the finger at someone else that for some uneducated reason you feel is worse than you. Then sit back in you modern home built from these resources and recycle your beer cans and call yourself an environmentalist. In other words YOU ARE THE CAUSE because of the way you CHOOSE to live. If these companies did not have someone that needed their products do you think they would still go cut down trees and mine copper? Then on top of all that ignorance do not compound the problem by exporting it overseas it by buying foreign goods and pretending even more that it is all good.

There is a balance out there but it will not be found in denial, ignorance or voting out a single politician. It is a lifestyle choice in America. The solution if implemented today will crash our economy and alter the way you live beyond your comphrension. Opposing this rule change is like filling in the grand canyon one grain of sand at a time. Don't fool yourself think it through.
