How did the earth get along all these billions of years without the EPA?

The House needs to defund and defang the EPA.

Looks like Agenda 21.

The EPA is now all about helping third world countries. There is a heavy emphasis on Africa, but other countries are also in the mix.

Is this why we have an EPA?

Education, EPA, Energy, NPR -- these are the first four parts of government that I would defund 100%.

Then municipalities double water rates because of shrinking revenues. It happens every time.

Water does not get "used". It's borrowed and returned.

“sustainable use of energy, water, materials and land”

The ‘land’ part scares me to death.

Like the UN, the EPA has drifted so far from its original mission, it has become a monster.

Also like the UN, it has become the home of ideological bureaucrats with a constant stream of money, searching for a mission.

No good can come from this.

What is “sustainable” anyway? I have yet to see agency or anyone actually define it.

They won't. Congress likes these agencies because it allows them to play the almighty and powerful overseer.

Swimming pool in the back yard, and not a government worker? That's an environmental justice crime!

This stuff is scary.

The sustainable growth people basically want everyone to live in urban areas. Detroit, Newark, East St Louis -- in a truly sustainable world, all humans would live in areas like that. The flip side is that the land where people plant gardens, raise chickens, and have access to firewood is considered "unsustainable" and must be depopulated.

It's about Control. Ownership of land gives you too much of it.

It IS Agenda 21. Go to freedom21.org for the counter movement.

“Sustainable development” is nothing less than the state totally controlling everything about your life and property.

Requiring a definition usually ends any discussion with a leftist,
and it is the reason that they choose forums in which no questions can be asked.

"Sustainability" means "whatever leftists think they want at the moment".

This is not to be confused with what leftists said they wanted yesterday or what they'll say they want tomorrow.

They want what they want, they want it now, and if they don't get it the world will end.

This is how things are to be forever.

Actually, seriously,

leftists DO derive their power from ambiguity and unequal application of law.
