daveonOver on Rand Simberg's Blog, he has a lovely piece called "Screw the Earth"...
There are some classics there, but for the Brits in the audience here are the ones that made me chuckle:
From the post he links to: "You no longer worry about pollution, because you know that once free people become annoyed by it, other free people will fix it with cleaner fuel-burning methods and filters. Where are the pea soups of London?"
When Chris Gerrib, rightly, points out that the Clean Air Act of 1953 was hardly the market working, we get this:
"The “government action” was the result of British citizens exercising their rights at the ballot box."
I thought people could do with a good laugh.
