I’m not going to argue with you. It’s BS. I’m not saying all business are bad, then I’m not saying all regulations is bad either. Take it for what it is, my opinion.

Am I right or wrong in stating that all regulations are not bad and there are a certain set people in this world that would destroy anything and everything in their way to profit?

Take the Clinton’s for example. There it’s regulated and heavily through laws and law enforcement, yet we still can’t shut them down. Is that because of too many laws or because of bad people?

I think your underlying premise was, before you were scolded, that business would cut down ALL the old growth forest if they had their way.

That isn’t the same as saying some regulation is good. That’s a change from your original position.

If you’re now saying you were wrong about all old growth forest and all businesses, I accept your correction.

However, let it be known that millions of acres are in the National Park service and won’t be logged; ever. And even so, where private ownership exists, many decide not to log or disturb, but keep the forest pristine for their own reasons. The Natural Conservatory is one such group of private owners. And that’s good, owners get to decide. I cannot fault them.

However, please also understand that the spotted owl decision back in the 1980s put thousands of people out of work. It wasn’t just the logger barons that lost, but regular, everyday Joes. I absolutely hate to hear about these things, and the total disregard for these people by their so-called betters in Washington, New York and Los Angeles. The Leftists just don’t care.

Same thing that Obama and Hillary did to the coal miners. Trump told them he had their back and he won in large part in Pennsylvania due to this. And he wasn’t just saying so, like most politicians, but is getting coal back online. The lie of the Left, Fhios, is similar to what you started with, that the big coal companies don’t give a hoot about anybody else but their profits and will kill us all with coal smoke.

BUT, they ignore all the advances that clean coal gives us and how far the industry has cleaned it up. Obama acted as if he’s never heard of scrubbers and other technologies, yet at the same time, thought he knew all about pie-in-the-sky renewables in solar and wind, while absolutely ignoring both the ecological and consistent power issues with them. The bottom line, hundreds of thousands got economically ruined. For what? Politics!

you make an Excellent point - We here in the U.S.A. have TOO MANY Laws, too many people employed by "Law Enforcement" organizations - The main function of these people is to be the Sheriff of Nottingham and steeling money from us hardworking idiots - but they call it Taxes, Fees, Fines or plug-in your personal preference
