As if individual speculators were to be allowed to export the clouds out of the sky, or the stars out of the firmament one by one. We shall be reduced to gnaw the very crust of the earth for nutriment." Thoreau.<br /><br />Can't give up!!!!

I have long advocated that endless studies supply good jobs and that is why they will never die - in contrast to our species who, for lack of Action, are on the road to extinction.Connie Gallanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09609370190730401194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5771704622036490711.post-4782209775186990302017-11-21T12:26:01.510-08:002017-11-21T12:26:01.510-08:00The issue of strong enforcement of existing regula...The issue of strong enforcement of existing regulations that would do much for the environment seems to often be mentioned as necessary. But I think politics, money, turf wars, interpretation of regulations and a frequent reluctance to encroach on individual "freedoms" (and probably other reasons as well) all get in the way. It must get kind of lonely doing battle for stronger enforcement.
