>do you want to go back to polluted air and water just because a small minority of regulations need to be repealed or amended? >Turning "environmental regulation" into a unified bloc that must be either supported or opposed in totality is a manipulative political maneuver and it should be forcefully rejected. | ||

When I say they're mostly good, but we should fix what's broken and people start hitting me with examples of broken regulation I can only interpret that as an example for why environmental regulation should be opposed by default. So I respond accordingly. I've never said all environmental regulation is good. That would be stupid, but you should have evidence based reasons for wanting to repeal or modify a regulation. Existing regulation was put in place for a reason and those reasons likely still matter. Even if the regulation is falling short of having unintended consequences. | ||
