I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Can you explain for us a bit more about how things work in Libertarian-land?
You can pick up where you left off when you were basically implying that every consumer would be perfectly rational and would have perfect information about every product that is available in every marketplace. They would then use that information along with their own infallible reasoning to analyze things - such as the supply chain of every component of their flat screen TV - so that they could then vote with their dollar, and support only the best of the best companies...even if that is at the expense of of their own consumption.
Sorry. Keep going and I'll try to reserve my laughter. And when you're done, you can go back to tending the rabbits.

America has very complex environmental laws that are generally rooted in incidents. CERCLA (the Superfund law) was birthed from the Love Canal pollution scandal. SARA arose because Congress wanted to ensure that the U.S. had no Bhopal incidents such as occurred in 1984 in India. The 1990 Oil Pollution Control Act was birthed as a result of the Exxon Valdez spill. Each of these indicents, which were caused by corporations, brought out further regulatory oversight. Oil Companies are likely extremely lucky that our current very conservative Congress did not pass more environmental laws in the wake of the 2010 BP oil well blowout.
This being said, I am absolutely convinced that the U.S. has the most protective environmental laws on the planet. There is no conspiracy between industry and government to get away with slowly poisoning us. Industry did not push-back against us when we told them they needed to do certain things in order to be compliant with laws.
If there were not a history of incidents like Love Canal, Bhopal, Exxon Valdez, BP oil spill, etc., there would be no need for the EPA or environmental laws.

Not huffing and puffing and blowing the house down, and working to open the door with a key is a solution which they are too lazy to discuss...intellectual integrity takes effort.

So after you start the trade war, where will our manufacturers sell their goods, and where will our farmers sell our crops? Your points are not without merit, but trade negotiations are specific, not general, and environmental control by general unilateral declaration is extremely naive, and getting that Iowa corn to the Chinese and Indian middle class will not be helped by careless and broad solutions which actually are counterproductive.

You have a very valid point, IMHO. It's INDUSTRIAL fluoride...a byproduct (waste) from phosphate production. There is no reason to add fluoride to drinking water; it has been shown to CAUSE, instead of solve problems.

Right, before fluoride I was about 18 and had at least 12 cavities. Fluoride came along and not another one in fifty years. Yep, sure has caused a lot of problems.

This database must be one prerequisite to reviewing EPA function. I saw a CSX derailment where 54 tanker loads of ethanol burned or was put out with fire compression chemicals and then the largest fish kill in the State's history and they never took water samples until three days after the kill, and never could prove a causal connection with the spill and the fish kill..
Not only are the regulations too complex, the action plans are woefully inadequate, and fail in their mission to first understand where our environment is now, and how can we effectively and efficiently improve the quality and protect American citizens.
