Please, illuminate me as to how the loss of east and west coast fisheries, the logging industry and prairie agriculture won't harm the common man as much as some environmental policies designed to make these industries sustainable for the future?
I mean, naturally the common man is better served with oil patch subsidies than with clean water. It's self-evident, isn't it?

Your last sentence makes a mockery of your argument. Is it you against the oil companies? Loony environmentalists vrs the rich exploiters. And yes people are more far more important than water or anything else. Of course we need to strike a balance between use of resources, health, the economy and keeping it all rolling along but those are nothing but resources that we(people) use and yes we should maintain them in a proper fashion.
Sorry but those are resources to be managed in a balanced way and for the benefit of ALL. Once again where it makes sense to move ahead then over time those are implemented. Otherwise the shrill rhetoric of the environmentalists belongs on the edge where it serves it's purpose.
