Putting Democracy in its Rightful Place

Who said that government has a right to stick its nose in the business of this planet?

Republicans and democrats alike are now both fighting to have government insert itself in the fate of the planet's climate. But who wants government to mandate limits on CO2 or DDT or lead or mercury in the atmosphere? The only people who have a right to determine what goes into earth's atmosphere are God and the business community.

We're fighting hard to make that case to every voter in the country. Why not join us in this struggle and round up your monthly power bill: we'll use the extra funds to convince your friends and neighbors that business--not government--knows best how to run a healthy planet.

Let government find another planet to govern. The business community has got this one.

Dude, are you serious?

Unfortunately, my anonymous friend, government--rather than businesses like mine--is trying to tell us what kind of air is healthy to breathe. They rely on "experts" in the public health sector rather than the real experts at industries like mine. That is quite serious.

Thankfully, however, the U.S. is led by a fine president and vice president, who have largely let those of us in the coal, oil, and automobile industries set the rules.
