 TAP: Vol 12, Iss. 16. Libertarian Rhapsody. Chris Mooney.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
Tierney conceded that the tragic fire was triggered by "unsafe conditions at one factory" but deplored the way the event has come to be considered the catalyst for historic occupational-safety regulations.
Tierney was cautious to include disclaimers in "Recycling Is Garbage," the most significant being his reasonable-sounding admission that "Recycling does sometimes make sense--for some materials in some places at some times." And much of the article's effect depends on a combination of on-site reporting, philosophical rumination, media criticism, pop psychology, and even literary allusion.
Tierney asserted that municipal solid-waste landfills are, by and large, not environmentally hazardous, because they mostly contain average garbage rather than dangerous materials like lead and mercury, and the ordinary garbage tends to trap in these poisons.

 CJR Daily: The Problem with John Tierney
Tierney's most frequent target was big government and its clumsy intrusions, whether in the form of rent-control laws, over-zealous prosecutors, or attempts to crack down on Times Square strip clubs.
