Sorry, but anyone naive enough to believe a true "free market", as Mr. Paul is advocating, would make decisions based on what's best for the environment, consumer or anyone else except their own profit margins needs a reality check. Yes there are some who do, and I believe we have more evidence of that in the NW than most if not any other area of the country, but that is not the norm. Greed has taken over most businesses concerns above any other thing. There has to be many of these regulations in place for the same reasons that many of the warnings are on consumer products.............some idiot didn't know enough to know it on his/her own without someone telling them. It's a shame society, in many ways, has sunk to the levels it has but at least the lawyers are pretty happy. They have job security like no one else.
