All of America laughed. However, I was just careering through the streets of my little town brooding about the inability of right wingers to grasp that deregulation is just a form of "cost shifting" from one person or company to everyone else. I was driving behind a truck that was spewing black exhaust and thinking--we have regulations to prevent this because when trucks are dirty and spew this stuff in the air I and everyone else pays for it in decreased health and enjoyment. There can even be a monetary cost. But whatever the form of reckoning there's a cost. McMegan et al only imagine the cost *to* the company, not the social and economic cost to everyone else.<br /><br />aimaiAimaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03763135029063170794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-12727200883962956522010-12-14T11:29:25.255-06:002010-12-14T11:29:25.255-06:00The endagered species post wasn't just juvenil...The endagered species post wasn't just juvenile; it was stupid, ignorant and wrong. We already have a lot of regulations? Does that mean we should stop researching cures for cancer or HIV because we already have tons of cures for other things?<br /><br />I'm trying to wait for the Snark review of the gift guide before reading Megan's post itself, but I feel like a kid trying to hold out for Christmas morning instead of peeking in the closet where mom and dad have hidden the unwrapped presents...Clever Pseudonymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00782313892753904678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-40551869311649707232010-12-14T11:22:50.911-06:002010-12-14T11:22:50.911-06:00The Penn/U.
