The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Is Big Oil to blame for all the smoke and haze from the Canadian Wild Fires that are polluting our air with harmful particulates and gases?

I've seen more hazy Summer days in the last 2-3 years combined than I had in the previous 30 years combined.

The US EPA needs to sue Canada for air pollution from the Canadian wild fires.

You'd be surprised how much smoke, in a normal year, is domestically produced by wildfires out west and blows across the Dakotas.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
