Yeah. That surprised me too. I guess that is some indication of the general feeling (especially around NYC I suppose) after 9 11... I was surprised... But there it is.>>
well I live in NYC and know the general feeling after 9/11.
I applaud Governor Pataki's recent decision to sue the Federal Government over the fact that the EPA will not disclose whether materials used in New York public works actually meet EPA standards or not.
And let me praise former President Nixon, who though he was forced to resign for failing to obey the laws of his own country, did in fact establish the Environmental Protection Agency, which is now being accused by the State of New York of not obeying its own statutes.
President Bush is quoted as saying that less regulation means less lawsuits, and less headaches for big business. My constructive suggestion is that people should look after their Constititution, and and look very carefully to see if their leaders are following it, or not.
i met Thomas Nagel a good many years ago, he could not hold a candle to David Armstrong, in my opinion.
