today on the radio i heard a republican politician

who wants to defund the epa
strip it of all its regulatory powers
because it is 'job-killing'
and will raise prices in kansas
among other places

and i think of something said
by a scientist on a program
about global warming

he said the scientist

anytime you hear a politician talk about the economy over ecology you are listening to an idiot because the economy is wholly a subsidiary of ecology.
