In defense of their right to breathe dirty air

The various polluters lobbying groups are predicting that efforts to improve air quality will work against President Obama's re-election next year.
Within weeks, the Environmental Protection Agency is expected to tighten the national standard for ozone, the main ingredient in smog. In last-minute lobbying, business groups are warning that the country can't afford cleaner air in an economic downturn and that President Barack Obama can't afford it politically, either.

Ozone inflames the airways, makes it hard to breathe, worsens asthma and other lung ailments, and increases the risk of death from lung or heart disease.
You can have my ozone when you pry it from my cold dead lungs.

When making their case for your right to breathe crap they always discount the jobs created by the necessary cleanup efforts.

Comments:
Here's the deal: Their ozone is trespassing on *MY* property. It's no different from their cow, their dog, or their pit bull coming onto my property. It's wrong, it's a violation of my property rights, and they need to stop it. They insist they have a right to dump their crap onto my property? What a buncha wankers...
