“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

EPA - practically the fourth branch of government

7 northeast states have filed in court to force the EPA to regulate "indoor/outdoor wood boilers" because they create unhealthy levels of particulate matter. Wood boilers must be a Yankee contraption because I've never heard of them. Is that like a wood-burning stove?

I wonder how the language will read, specifically if it will be so broad as to include wood-burning fire places? It wouldn't surprise me if the EPA banned burning wood on behalf of global warming or some other imagined menace.

Enjoy your fireplace this winter because you might be a criminal if you do it next year.

A wood boiler is a wood-fired hot water heating system. Some are installed in the house and some are installed a distance from the house and piped indoors.

So the heated water is actually steam that gets piped through the radiators?

I've never lived anywhere that we had radiators.

And I imagine they've been around for generations, are they that dangerous in terms of particulate matter in the air?
