Why is a doper snorting bath salts my problem?

My point is this – it is economically impossible to eliminate cancer causing compounds from the environment. The question is the level at which toxic chemicals actually cause biological injury. Spreading pseudoscience doesn’t do anyone any good.[/quote]

My point is that there is an ethics and morality component to setting pollution levels. The ‘best available technology’ standard eliminates shenanigans from ‘scientists’ and regulators who are in bed with the companies they are supposed to be regulating.[/quote]

You mean like the scientist with the fake degree that made up the research for the California Air Resources Board’s diesel rules?

How about psychology and psychiatry?

I think that economics is not all about mathematical equations. Psychology plays a huge part.

You mean like the scientist with the fake degree that made up the research for the California Air Resources Board’s diesel rules?[/quote]

This is a perfect example of how rules and regulations, taken to an extreme, can do far more harm than good. CARB’s actions probably do help the environment on an almost infinitesimal level (even that is debatable), but what about the hundreds of thousands of jobs lost? These rules aren’t hurting big corporations, they’re hurting thousands of small California businesses like short haul trucking companies and farmers. They’re being forced to either shut down or take their business out of state, while their former employees are left wondering how a couple fewer parts per trillion of particulates in the air helped them or their families.

At some point, rules simply become a control issue on the part of career politicians. On both sides.
