When I say government I mean the Bush administration. The system is a
bit different here so that is why I said government.

But one thing that strikes me as very odd is that the Bush adm.
wants/wanted (I don't know the current status) to allow increased levels
of pollution in drinking water in the US as I understood it. It sounds
to me that the industry is much more important than the people of the
US for the Bush adm., but then again I'm not living over there.
