Anti pollution laws do not apply to government or to government officials
acting in the course of their duties. If the government spreads deadly
pollutants everywhere, then the government is innocent, but all private
businesses that somehow facilitated the action of the government, perhaps
by supplying it with equipment, or by allowing it to confiscate the land
which it polluted, or by having the pollution spread upon their property,
are guilty.
