There is no vast right wing conspiracy, but groupthink is about as old as the human race. The idea that a solitary worker needs a powerful voice of solidarity in the face of Big Coal, or Big Sugar, or Big Auto etc. seems obvious. No denying unions suffer from corruption. The idea that the Big Mammon set can be trusted to protect streams and air quality etc. is laughable. What is happening pollution wise in China is a mirror to our own industrial past before environmental protectionist legislation reversed the worst of the abuse.

I give, you're too slippery for me and I have no interest in dancing around every liberal talking point. We just went from welfare and sloth to global warming in four posts. The premise of which is hauntingly familiar to attributing every good thing happening in the US in the past 25 years to Bill Clinton. Men and women in industry are largely responsible for cleaning up the environment. They did not need protectionists looking over their shoulder to get that done. Your suggesting the only people of conscience are liberals which I reject out of hand.
