This is about the 3rd forum I've seen in the last few days talking about the negative impact of EPA regulations on the average Joe. I would agree we don't want to go back to the smokestack-spewing days of a century ago, but doggone it, this country (and Canada) is pretty darn clean compared to a lot of others. However, now that we've pretty much cleaned up our act, the EPA (i.e. its thousands of government workers) need to justify their jobs. They (and the few hundred tree-huggers that seem to get more attention than they deserve) are bound and determined to regulate us beyond comprehension.
At some point in time, we need to have some common sense enter the political arena. Don't waste our time (and tax dollars) with ads about "ozone alert days", telling me not to fill up my car or mow my grass. Or trying to force automakers to build a "zero-emissions" internal combustion engine that will cost a zillion dollars and be as complex as a space vehicle.
In the past, I've had dealings with the state on wetlands and it is too painful to even describe the idiocy that these so-called protectors of our environment are forcing on people. I think downsizing the EPA and diluting the power of its army of enviro-nazis would be a wonderful start on restoring this country to its former glory. Sure, go after the big polluters but don't harass and fine the guy who spilled a quart of motor oil on his driveway. JMO

If it's due to death, your feelings could be in disarray for days, months or even years. Even now after almost 4 years, I still miss my dad. I remember when I was a kid my dad sometimes would tuck my brother and I in at night and we would ask him questions about his childhood on the farm. To this day, it's some of the best stories I've ever heard. And now, I'm so glad that I asked those questions, and if I were a little smarter i
