before you tell me I am just complaining something is not right in our
energy policy and its broken because of politics. In one aspect we have
worked hard to provide standards for pollution and in identifying
polluntants and levels ( pretty accurate sometimes even if I think its still
underreported in its total damage affects) , more so probably then any
country on
earth and the people who worked so hard in doing that at the epa should be
commended but on another level we now have people who want to gut epas hard
work and they happen to be George Bush and republicans. So I am not just
this conspiracy laiden person thinking we are totally always wrong
ignoring this issue but somehow we have in place a system that  tried to do
something to monitor this mess and promote protection and we have others who
are trying to gut  their efforts. If thats all to the  story it might not be
so bad, but this effort  of trying to sabotage those who are here to protect
you  , by our own President  ( of all people) is  responsible or could be
responsible for the death and illness or  making sick millions of people
often based on govt own standards and
nothing is done to protect the people most negatively affected / At least
detemine who would get the worse brunt of this pollution and  make changes
to those polluters in those  areas but NOTHING, just outright sabotage of
those protections while the polluntants and its affects go on. Its really
incredible that we have a President establishing values by default who
possibly can be accepting harming the people he was elected to protect .
and  worse by ignoring all efforts or nullifying the rules ends up killing
people. This from a President  ... UNBELIEVABLE
Unbelievable This is nothing more then murder.

 which

>>      our people? We know better, we have the capabilities of putting the

>>      together...See last paragraph for new link

Finally in short, the tests to prove what I am saying about some people
being poisoned more then others could easily be had by comparing peoples
health and healthcare costs from those getting more pollution to those that
don't. This will show that much damage and irreversible diseases go on in
places that have to absorb more of these days of bad air and total toxins
then those that don't. Someone needs thusly to do something immediately to
limit those toxins and  at least mandate that those politicians who sabotage
those efforts stop doing so immediately and listen to gov officials and
pollution experts who did such a fine job in determining how much was
poisoing people to begin with. Somehow the politicians who sponser the
polluntants want to now change which levels of these polluntants are deemed
dangerous. Murder legitimized again. Its one thing to pay allot or thru the
nose for energy , its another to help make sick those same people and have
politicians protect the people who sabotage  any sane effort to control the
damage they are responsible for. its certainly not because they are too poor
to do it so it seems.....

 NOT Do anything that would provide prudant safeguards for people who end up
being unfairly victims  for people who profit from this mess or who are
polluting more then other places

>>      each year", Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, October 5, 2006,
>>      Link: http://www.cbc.ca/cp/health/061005/x100522.html
>>
>>      The World Health Organization called on governments Thursday to
>> improve
>>      air quality in their cities, saying air pollution prematurely kills
>> two
>>      million people a year, with more than half the deaths in developing
>>      countries.
>>
>>      Reducing pollution from particles that are too small to be filtered
>> in
>>      the nose and throat and settle in the lungs could save as many as
>>      300,000 lives every year, according to a statement issued by the
>> WHO's
>>      regional office in Manila.
>>
>>      Reducing levels of those extremely small particles - caused
>> primarily
>>      by the burning of fossil and other types of fuel - could cut the
>> deaths
>>      from air pollution by about 15 per cent, said Maria Neira, the WHO
>>      director for public health and the environment.
>>
>>      It also could cut the global burden of disease from respiratory
>>      infections, heart disease and lung cancer, she said.
>>
>>      Particulate matter pollution is considered the biggest health risk.
>> But
>>      the WHO Air Quality Guidelines also recommended lowering the daily
>>      allowed limits for ozone.
>>
>>      That represents a challenge especially for developing countries with
>>      numerous sunny days when ozone concentrations reach the highest
>> levels,
>>      causing respiratory problems and asthma attacks, WHO said. The
>>      guidelines also cut the sulfur dioxide limits.
>>
>>      Many countries around the world do not have regulations for air
>>      pollution, which makes control virtually impossible.
>>
>>      WHO said the new guidelines, which were established after worldwide
>>      consultation with more than 80 leading scientists, provide the basis
>>      for all countries to build their own air quality standards and
>> policies
>>      supporting health.
