First paragraph: "Over the past four decades, the Clean Air Act has earned a well-deserved reputation as America's most effective law for reducing dangerous pollution and protecting human health and the environment. The big polluters and their political allies have attacked this landmark law many times over the years, in the courts and in Congress."

Comments

We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.

General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.

Remember that making the world better begins with responsible action.

Environmentalis ts are constantly demonized by the corporate media, and corporate lackey politicians, (mostly Republicans), and yet if not for them, our environment would be much more polluted, our wilderness areas would be gone, and millions of Americans would die at a much younger age. Thank God for environmentalis ts!!!

If you're looking for evidence of corporate insanity, you need look no further than those who OPPOSE clean air, because that cuts into profits.

Who but a lunatic would intentionally poison the air he breathes for fun and profit?

I'm afraid we've allowed the crazies to run the asylum.

Where in their childhood and adolescent education did these idiots get the idea that science has "two sides" and we get to vote on which side is "correct"? As for willymack's "lunatic who would poison the air he breathes for fun and profit," that lunatic figures he can use his profit to move into some exclusive enclave, well away from the smog and the bog, and leave us ordinary folk to wallow in his profitable sewer.
