mahgister, I enjoy your posts as well and don't take offense. What seems to be misunderstood is that what I've always said is, there's always been a delicate balance to our environment. What's hastening things is man's contribution to that balancing act that's responsible for the dilemma we're now all in.
That balance took ages to achieve and now we're screwing it up, all the while under the impression that the air and water are infinite in their ability to absorb all the pollutants we emit. Science says otherwise.
As for free markets, name one that ever existed without regulations that didn't favor one group over another. It's all where you draw the lines. Regulations are an inherent part of any economy.
By the way, we had a good preview of that Dickensian dystopia right here in the good 'ol USA, Hooverville, and the elite of those days thought it was a good thing.
All the best,
Nonoise
