And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Abolish the EPA, and transfer their responsibilities to the states.
I have seen a lot of internet hype about this story. Most recommend that the EPA be punitively fined the same way the EPA goes after businesses. But that's just stupid. They should instead go after specific named EPA officials who made bad decisions that led to this. Army officers can be held personally criminally and civilly liable for damage they do to the environment, under law. Apply this same rule to EPA officials. Unless it hurts them personally, it won't change. And soaking the taxpayers doesn't hurt anyone.

DeleteI wonder how many of those involved that day had been partaking of the legal pot in that state.
ReplyDeleteGood question!
DeleteThe EPA is no longer needed... their words:
