I'm too young to remember life without an EPA, but I've been told that it was not long ago that you would see folks drive to their local K-Mart, park their car over a storm drain, open up the drain screw, walk inside and get a few quarts of oil and a filter, come back, toss the old filter in the trash, and refill the oil. Brilliant. None of the hassle of proper waste disposal, quick and dirty oil change.

Now being the old geeze that you are richw, I figure you can tell me if this sort of behavior is an urban legend drummed up by crazed EPA tree huggers to justify their existence...or perhaps you don't see an issue with pouring a few quarts of oil down a storm drain every few months?

Please, let me know, because yeah I think maybe we've gone a bit far to the other end with organizations liek the EPA, but I think they were created due to the laziness and greed of...well, YOUR generation. Who would have happily gone about dumping toxic chemicals in rivers and creating smog clouds around cities because, hell, you'd all be dead and gone before the world went *totally* to shit. Yes?
