I love the environment and I certainly think that we should do whatever we can to preserve it. But Ventura couches his enthusiasm for environmental protection with a caveat. So until something comes along and puts us second, you have to accept that. Ventura says he hasn't studied the issue. You'd need, of course, a strong federal pollution control agency and then maybe eliminate these state control agencies, because the feds should handle that anyway.

You don't want to get in the habit of doing that, I think, on a lot of things. It's an easy way out, you know. I think in the feedlot case, nobody has a clue right now what to do with them. Well, you better stop allowing more of them until you figure out what you do with the ones you got, and how you're gonna contend with the pollution problem on it.
