This is a no brainer. The USA needs protections to their environment through regulation. They need protections in their food supply and their medical supply and they are not getting it while their Senators are grappling with huge global systems to stem dangers to the domestic demands inside the country.

In a society concerned about the cost of health care, regulations are the first measure that should be taken to reduce the need and reduce the cost. I mean really, do I have to say all this? And the media worries about 'spiritual nutcases' in need of exorcists.
