The Bush administration is promoting an environmental policy that allows companies to buy the right to emit harmful chemicals into the air from companies who emit less.
I like this idea, and think we ought to extend it to all harmful activity:
"Excuse me, sir. I couldn't help but notice that you passed up the chance to knock that old lady down and steal her purse. Can I buy that off you?".
Dumb fucking fucks.
if only the bush administration read more Kant!
