A View from the Beach

One day you wash up on the beach, wet and naked. Another day you wash back out. In between, the scenery changes constantly.

A Heck of Scam

EPA scares the crap out of people with largely bogus claims of health effects due to air pollution.  Then they survey people to find out how much they would be willing to pay to avoid said health effects.  Then they claim that monetary value as the would be benefits of the regulations they propose.

That's just wrong.
