Do please. Because, quite frankly, I don't believe you. I mean, I'm sure you think you're correct, but the level of dishonesty on issues like this is so total that I don't believe _anything_ put out by any environmental group. Gregg Easterbrook - who's wrong on many things, but does pretty well on environmental issues - pointed this out as well. http://www.tnr.com/easterbrook.mhtml?pid=1500 It may be the case. But I'd have to see something other than a Greepeace press release to convince me - my attitude towards them echoes Dorothy Parker's famous comment - everything they say is a lie, including and and the. > Kindly do not mistake me for some blindly-obedient > Democrat-myrmidon. > > Debbi No, I just notice that you tend to believe things that the environmental radicals do, and I don't believe them. I don't think you're dishonest, I think you trust people who are completely dishonest. Witness your discussion with Dan on nuclear power. Since the environmental movement has done more harm to the poor of the world than any other such supposedly well-intentioned group, their dogma gets a very visceral reaction from me. When you get down to it, you've got a bunch of people who would rather millions of poor brown people die from malaria than even consider the possibility of using DDT. So I don't trust them, and when they claim - against all evidence - that mercury pollution is going to go up, when every pollutant in the US is decreasing in release quantity - I don't believe them. Their credibility is less than zero. ===== Gautam Mukunda [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Freedom is not free" http://www.mukunda.blogspot.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
