Jazusamo: You re absolutely right about the once needed role of an active EPA. I remember seeing a yellow cloud over the Golden Gate Bridge and wondering what it was (1970, on my way to visit Nam).

However, Clinton appointed Marxist Carol Browner (ISO) as the head of the EPA in the mid-90’s and it has been downhill ever since.

Bush missed his chance to revamp the EPA and get rid of the environ-wackos. Obama filled the place up with marxists and weirdos and voodoo scientists.

Now you’d have to fumigate the place to clean the reds and wackos out.

[Not all EPA employees are leftists. Many are dedicated people who don’t believe in all this marxist crap].

I think there is still a need for the EPA, but it needs better checks and balances to prevent abuse. They shouldn't be able to impose fines without a court hearing.

There needs to be something similar to an office of civil rights, or GAO, that's not focused on racial civil rights or accounting audits, but rather abuses of the Federal government.

This office need to step in, investigate and fight for the rights of individuals when any branch of the Federal government oversteps or fails to preform it's duties. They need to close the loopholes in legislation when rights are violated. But in no event should they be able to delay existing forms of redress. And they probably should answer to Congress not the Executive.
