Love canal actually won awards do to its advanced technology.....You just did not pay attention. I clearly remember black smoke poring from smokestacks, streams and rivers full of green slime from phosphates and piled high with foam from an unnecessary foaming agent in laundry detergent. I remember Love canal and a bunch of other smaller toxic dumps the government got stuck cleaning up. I remember fish being unsafe to eat because we sprayed DDT by the ton. I especially remeber a feeling of helplessness because states could not afford to fight deep pockets. It was so bad a republican president finally formed an agency with the power to do something.I lived all over the US and never saw it. Sure it happened but your apocalyptic blather is just your emotions getting the best of you.No, things are far better than they used to be. You must be too young to remember when rivers caught fire and toxic dump sites littered the face of America.Business developed far better BMPs before the government ever got involved and made things worse....Except they did dump toxic waste in lakes and everywhere else they could get away with. I said before that regulations are a response to wrongdoing, I take it you have another interpretation? We make laws against new kinds of crime and no one complains, make a regulation against some new angle or scam and you people bitch.You forgot to mention the children in the coal mines. No one wants to dump toxic waste in the lakes, the fact that you think all business regulations address that kind of thing shows how far gone you are.
Stop being a liberal,,you look foolish.....
