VCF0842 R Placement: Environmental Regulation Scale

QUESTION:
---------
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, at point 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)
