ANOTHER RANDOM THOUGHT: Has it occurred to anyone that the environmental movement always emphasizes risks that support their political ambitions for more environmental regulation - and ignore those that don’t (nothing to see here; move along now)?

Following that train of thought, mightn’t it be better for the American public to have smaller, less ‘regulatory-able’ federal and state governments? With a lessened ability of activists to achieve their ambitions via regulation, we might then be privy to more realistic risk assessment of our lifestyle choices.
