        Some people think we need much tougher government regulations on
        business in order to protect the environment.  (Suppose these
        people are at one end of a scale, at point 1.)  Other think that
        current regulations to protect the environment are already too
        much of a burden on business.  (Suppose these people are at the
        other end of the scale, a point number 7.)  And, of course, some
        other people have opinions somewhere in between, at points
        2,3,4,5 or 6.

        Where would you place yourself on this scale, or haven't you
        thought much about this?  (7-POINT SCALE SHOWN TO R)
