[QUOTE="lavacarancher, post: 1250665, member: 9198"] Maybe I should stay out of this but …… I agree with what Inayati says about how laws are brought forward but I also agree with a couple of other statements made here. First, Congress doesn't have the sense to make laws like demanding the auto manufacturers add another $7K to the cost of their vehicles for the benefit of improving the environment. So that's out. Congress must debate and enact laws that are part of someone else's agenda. So when the "people" demand that the EPA do something about this or that it is the EPA (or other agency) that brings the matter to congress. It is then passed into law (or not) based on the "will of the people" through our electorate. Second, as long as there are people who are very vocal and, in some cases, militant, about their cause then we will always be ruled by that minority. Ever heard the old adage "the squeaky wheel ….". The only way to change that is either by the majority being louder or by civil insurrection. Furgeson and Baltimore are good examples of civil insurrection. Third, follow the money. You can bet your a$$ that someone is benefitting financially at the expense of the rest of us through the passage of any law by congress at the behest of the EPA. Even our leader is up to his hip pockets in ties to carbon sequestration rules and regulations - to his benefit. And I'm sure there is a forth and fifth and so on, but I think you get the picture.
