Blanket statements that regulations are bad are silly.  You have to actually look at what the regulation does before deciding that the cost is not worthwhile.  Personally, I love clean air and the ability to trust that my drinking water is healthy.  I have traveled to other countries and been so glad that our country has regulation.  While there may be valid complaints that the cost exceeds the benefits for some regulations, suggesting that no regulation should occur is suggesting you are okay with Mexico type water or China type air.
