text: Which "onerous government regulations" are you talking about? A conservative friend of mine made that same claim but was unable to name a single regulation that supported his case. 
  
  I did hear one example from one of the North Carolina senators. He was claiming that the EPA was now monitoring the runoff from manure piles! Stupid!!!!!
  
  So I looked into the "manure piles"... 
  
  They're really limited to five acres and consist of liquid pig feces. The EPA requires they be lined and monitored for leaks. One did leak a few years ago and dumped 12 million gallons of this manure into the local river, killing all wildlife in a 12-mile stretch of the river.
  
  That's an example of the "onerous government regulations" they're eliminating. If you wonder why your morning coffee tastes odd you might be downstream. Bon Appetit!
