Just as a small aside, it's interesting to note that Texas is currently suing the EPA because they feel they need "to protect the Texas economy and the jobs that go with it" from the “public health and welfare of current and future generations” statement. At present this has nothing to do with Oregon or Facebook, but you kind of get the feeling there's an air of "damned if you do, damned if you don't" starting to filter into the air!
