These dummies bring the level of smarts here at top secret down, a few notches. man its no wonder the world is crashing. i laugh at all you climate change deniers--i hope the effects it causes hits your families especally hard--i hope you are the first to die in the storms--the fist to starve-the first to get shot when the riots start-the first to go to hell--ignorance breeds death, and you should be first.

What you said about Corporate profit disincentive by enviornmental protection measures is correct. Sensible enviornmental regulation in a free market society is important.

It is important to realize that socialism is not the answer to corporate pollution.
