In cases of actual damage criminal prosecution for destruction of property, or infringing others rights, would take care of it. Actually, the Bhopal disaster was caused by government interference, if I recall correctly, when socialist India took over the Exide(?) factory but lacked the expertise to run and maintain it, and ignored all the safety precautions that were in place. As you said, communist polluters were the worst... socialists still are. And they all have a callous disregard for human life, e.g. Chernobyl cover-up. Gotta work... nice chatting!

Regulation is necessary, since our MegaCorporations have shown us time and time again that they'll put profits ahead of quality of life. Have some mistakes been made in those regulations? I'm sure there have been, though I 'm not sure the ban on ddt was one of them, and will not base an opinion on that on one article. A few well written and enforced regulations will make corporations be good neighbors, even if they're kicking and screaming while they're doing it. We don't need another Bhopal. We don't need another Exxon Valdez. Nigel, there have been mistakes made on both sides of the issue, however that doesn’t mean we should throw out the baby with the bathwater.

All you need to know about environmentalism is that it long supported the ban on DDT and knowingly let millions die. The idea that it has the welfare of mankind at heart is a big lie. It is fundamentally opposed to reason, to science, to technology, to industry; to all the things our lives require. It is anti-man. Environmentalism's Holocaust (really not for the faint of heart): http://www.acsh.org/healthissues/newsID.442/healthissue_detail.asp BTW, capitalism is not about the "dollar ruling" it's about the right to be left alone to live your life, enjoy your liberty and pursue your happiness (including making gigantic profits from satisfying the needs of other individuals).

One administration is not the same as the whole capitalist point. You should be saying "the Bush regime" or whatever. And yes, I get my back up - I'm inundated on a DAILY BASIS by idiots who want to take my hard-earned lifestyle away from me because they are socialists/communists in the guise of the local Democrats. Yeah. I'm not happy about what you said and how you said it. Used that way, you’re helping “the cause” along which is buying into socialist crap….

You can get your back up all you want, but let's face it, when the dollar rules everything goes to hell. BTW, the communists were worse polluters. Just because I used the word "capitalist" you're instantly casting ME as a socialist? Get a grip. You know better.
