Sure Jerry, in a perfect world people wouldn't *need* environmental police. However this isn't a perfect world. By your logic there should also be no need for regular police, or the courts, or the military and so on. The fact people rarely do what is right. The usually do what is convenient. Hence the need for a larger body to monitor and enforce rules that the majority feel is necessary. When left to their own devices very few would make a green shift. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
