Why can't libs just leave people free to choose?
Is that so right wing extreme?

because one Cuyahoga *River on fire was one too many?

FInd it somewhat telling that you have to go all the way back to '69 for
your example.

what's wrong with 1969? does that make the river catching on fire any less
significant that say the BP oil fiasco in the Gulf or the recent compounding
pharmacy cock-up?

Both BP and the compounding pharmacy in MA were
under the regulation and inspection of govt.

by agencies hamstrung by budget cuts.


The federal
govt in the case of BP and both the fed and state govts
in the case of the pharmacy. So, clearly significant events
still apparently occur with or without govt regulation.

the bp significant events occurred not by accident but by the
insistence/necessity to make the well produce as quickly as possible (which is a
good thing) by overlooking/ignoring some safety protocols (which is a bad thing)


And no one died in the river fire.....

1) no direct deaths
2) do you think all the crap being dumped in the river had no negative
environmental/health impacts?

3) find it telling that you ignore the deaths on the BP platform
4) find it telling that you ignore the environmental impacts of the BP oil spill
5) find it telling that you ignore the financial impacts on both the river fire
and the oil spill
