The Short Arm of the Law
Good point, Anonymust. Rarely does government move proactively to protect anyone. That's sissy old Europe precautionary principle baloney.
Lopping off mountaintops and dumping then into streams? A-ok. Pumping livestock full of antibiotics and hormones? No Problem. Leaving nuclear waste lying around everywhere? What the hell? Storing it in a seismically unstable mountain? Why wouldn't ya? Heavily marketing drugs that are addictive or cause heart attacks? Go for it. Arsenic in drinking water? Fine, just don't get carried away. And on and on.
The idea of an overprotective government exists only in wingnut fantasyland.
