I just saw a report on autism and it said they feel it is mostly hereditary, but who knows.

That would be a war on women.
So you have proof that birth control pills are doing the things you say they are? If you do I'd love to see it. Please post a link to your research.

Laughable! People will believe anything.

So, I guess all we have to do is eliminate profit? Or do we simply go back about 200 years and give up our standard of living. Maybe we should quite eating and breathing. Well, I guess at the very least, quit growing food.

Why does everything have to come down to big bad corporations with liberals? Would you prefer there were no corporations, making all those great products you love, and are so willing to support with your dollars? It's you people that complain that conservatives want to go back to some previous century. Sounds to me like that would suit you just fine.

The new mercury standards will reduce emissions here however since most of that is deposited outside of the US it will have a negligible affect on the US. Estimates are deposition rates in the US will decrease 1% to 10%. Since the emission rates are already low compared to places like China it's going to have negligible affect worldwide.

Increasing the burden on US industry alone is not going to solve anything and could actually have the opposite affect driving more industry overseas increasing deposition rates in the US.

Bravo! Leftists want the government in charge of everything. That's what "progressivism" is. BIG GOVERNMENT!

I bet many people will change their mind about pumping industrial waste fluoride into our public drinking water if only because The Atlantic finally called it a dangerous toxin.
