The EPA is required to review every 5 years the listing of air pollutants. The EPA is considering removing lead from the listing because since 1980 the levels of lead in the air have been reduced by 90%. While lead poisoning remains an issue in homes due to lead-based paints, which effects mainly the poor, should the EPA continue to spend money on testing the air, or should it divert its resources to helping children in their homes??

If you ask me, I am with helping the kids in their homes, but if you place the environment over children, well then, I can see why you are up in arms.

Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles
