Not in anybody's backyard

Scott Piatkowski slams the NIMBY principle:
(N)o one should be expected to have to live with a toxic waste incinerator, a six-lane highway or a coal burning power plant in their backyard. Indeed in the case of the latter three examples, it doesn't matter whether the pollution is being spewed into the air from your own backyard. As we know from the seemingly permanent blanket of smog that has plagued Southern Ontario for the past few summers, pollution knows no boundaries.

Very well put. Read it.

Edit: to actually include the link.
