I don't. There's only so much you can do, but I live in a rural agrarian place where there are no megafarms, feedlots, or other industrial agriculture (the terrain is not forgiving enough for that in the foothills of the blue ridge mountains).
My wife is an Environmental Engineer, so she keeps tabs on our soil and water quality and we've never had any problems with contamination.
Nobody can live in a vacuum, so there is always going to be a small contribution from the rest of humanity, but it's like putting a thimble full of tequila into a swimming pool. Nobody's going to get drunk off of that.
100%, grass-fed on my acreage with no hormones, steroids, or antibiotics - processed in town by a local processor for $0.60/lb + a $50 kill fee, which includes vacuum packing and freezing.
You are asking the equivalent of abolishing social security. All the TSA is, is a federal jobs welfare program. Think of all the poor, downtrodden, underrepresented people you will be kicking out on the street to starve to death. Certainly you can't be a proponent of that, can you?
The logical conclusion of this absurd line of reasoning is that we should not charge criminals for violating the law if doing so might make them feel bad about themselves.
It's the absurdity of our public education system (can't fail a kid if it might damage their self-esteem) expanded into absurdity in the application and enforcement of the law.
How dare you bring logic, facts, and reason into a political argument with commie pinko lefty wingnuts about the oil and gas industry, or any other profitable industry for that matter?
The company I work for did just that this year. Apparently one of the new things with the health care law is that health insurance can require participation in a "wellness" program where the insurance company manages your diet and exercise plan, with premiums tied to your performance - all based on junk science, too (the BMI).
I'm 71" tall and 180lbs, 6% bodyfat, and they are commanding I lose 13lbs by October 15th or pay $300 extra for my health premium in 2014, because the BMI says I'm overweight.
The oil industry was effectively nationalized decades ago. The industry operates under absolutely strangling regulation and government essentially dictates everything that happens at a refinery right down to when the workers take a leak.
Seriously, anyone who thinks the white house actually considers any of these petitions is incredibly naive and impressionable, which is, of course, the whole point - making a bunch of naive, impressionable voters believe the administration actually gives a fuck what they think.
Dell will ALWAYS have matte screens available, since they are one of the big corporate suppliers. We buy all of our laptops for our small firm partly because it is so easy to get a matte screen from them.
With product liability lawyers dragging more and more people into court in product suits, they are looking deeper and deeper into a company's processes for developing those products, right down to hiring practices and whether a company was negligent in hiring the "best and brightest," arguing that failing to hire the "best" engineers amounts to negligence when the products they design fail.
Tagging women is "oppressing the gender," which doesn't fit the liberal agenda.
Tagging children is "won't someone think of the chirren," or "enslavement for your own good," or "getting you used to state-as-parent," which does fit the liberal agenda.
Why is it the government's responsibility to prevent people getting the flu, when people already know how not to get it and simply choose to engage in the risky behaviors that result in getting and transmitting it?

Whistleblower laws typically only apply to employees of the agency that is having the whistle blown on them.
They do not generally apply to outside hackers who are trying to gain unlawful access into the agency's resources.

When I say this article, I turned to my wife and said "Hey, someone posted an Ask Slashdot asking 'How do I get my spouse to start gaming with me?'"
And, she just busted out laughing, saying that was the most ridiculous question she'd ever heard. The answer is, of course, "you don't."
If she's not a gamer, she's not a gamer. Don't try to change her.
Little did we all know that this was actually the root password on HAL9000.

I've had commercial service from Comcast for years and I've never been NATed.
They want their industrial PC architecture back.

Ever been to Tel-Aviv?
Point taken - but that is still not why the administration set up the petition website. It's just a tertiary or quaternary consequence of it.

Idiots.
Yeah, they have an extra-special shredder for emails from shareholders.

Do you believe you have the right to tag your own child if you so desire?
Tagging women is "oppressing the gender," which doesn't fit the liberal agenda.
Tagging children is "won't someone think of the chirren," or "enslavement for your own good," or "getting you used to state-as-parent," which does fit the liberal agenda.
Or libel, or slander, or whatever?
And that's what it's all about.
