Daily, a new story breaks about municipalities, counties and states yielding to environmental lobbies applying pressure to curtail free enterprise. Sans bias, every business qualifies to be in protectionists’ crosshairs as the enemy of nature, which runs the gamut from defenseless weeds and hapless wolves to the vast cosmos. Like other entrepreneurs, activists use the saying ‘business is business’ but with an adverse twist in that ‘any business is bad business.’ Planning commissions, regulatory agencies and back office conferences run by nature advocates center around how commerce can be restricted rather than encouraged, and the revenue generating operations that fund their conclaves are, ironically, targets to be gutted. If the business sector was looking for common sense among the political class, egged on by the environmental class, it needn’t bother making the effort.
