This is still a bit unclear to me, I guess it has to be because we are talking about unforeseen consequences. But overall are you saying enviromental regulation has done more harm to society than good?


>The unforeseen and unintended ones. Maybe one day I'll post a list of unintended legal precedent that has arisen from wayward environmental legislation, but frankly I don't think it matters. Those whom are not directly affected simply do not care. The indirect consequences are blamed on the rich or corporate bogeymen and they merrily pretend that we're affecting the globe for the children. They're happy to let the power of the federal government encroach away, since they're fat and happy, lazily living beyond their means in their urban jungle. I thought that a decision like Kelo might have changed a few minds, but no, private property rights aren't important compared to "real" problems like people talking on cell phones while driving.
