you aren’t screwed but can you say that for everyone else

i find your cavalier attitude to be somewhat representative of a typical liberal...

as a resident of the state of maryland, whose AG is suing the EPA because it doesn’t go far enough, I recognize this threat for what it is

you might want to consider the effect on others, not just yourself

I have spent a day reading (100's) of pages of proposed regulations and my comment to you was that I am screwed along with everybody else when I can't get replacement parts. There's no specific rule against making and selling replacement parts but I have not gone through the all of the 100's of pages yet.

My beef with the original post is that it incorrectly stated that wood stoves have been banned and the Forbes article was misleading. Wood stoves have not been banned, a ban is being proposed starting later this year (comment period expires in May)

The solution by some posters is to ignore that inaccuracy, ignore the fact that there is a comment period and go on the assumption that (noncompliant) wood stoves have been banned. Nothing really wrong with that considering that it will help hasten the demise of the regime (i.e. give them the rope).

I believe however that it is important to let people know the fact that this is a proposed ban and should be fought by political means. There are plenty of farm state senators who will have a majority of constituents against this. They need to be communicated with to put a stop to this.

If people want to add some reactionary commentary as well, fine. But the political action message has to get out and that's what I am doing, especially after taking the time to wade through the EPA's crap.
