   Former EA Head Blasts Bush's Environmental Record.According to the July   
   20,   
   > 2004 Wall Street Journal, this week Russell E. Train, former head of the   
   EPA   
   > for two Republican presidents, criticized President George W. Bush's   
   > environmental record calling it a "polluter protection" policy. According   
   > to the article, Train said that Bush's record on the environment is so bad   
   > that he plans to vote for Democrat John Kerry. According to the article,   
   Train   
   > recently spoke at an event organized by Environment2004, where he accused   
   Bush   
   > of weakening the Clean Air Act.

   I have a question.If cigarette smokers don't have the right to pollute our   
   air, why can industry? If US has more murders in this country then the   
   victims of 9/11 and our fight in Iraq combined? Who says we have a right to   
   tell others how to live? I hate terrorism but we have screwed up society   
   where most people are having a more and more difficult time not being   
   victims of crime or pollution or illness . its getting to a point that if   
   credit cards are allowed to charge more fees then your local book maker ,   
   oil companies and prescription drugs are allowed to charge you outrageous   
   fees while often the same companies set you up for the illness, then we are   
   destroying ourselves. Who in the hell wants to live in this hell?
