I have spent quite a bit of time with "these" people, having a sister who is one. And have rarely seen the rabid version, not that I have never had to deal with them. You may generalize the movement as you see fit, and may have percieved that attitude from your experience, but it bears little resemblence to my own. Much of what you stated I have seen before....in speeches from candidates, but never from those I have been in contact with who are self proclaimed activists in the environmental movement.
That said....I do not claim you are incorrect...only that our experiences differ dramatically, and may do so as a result of personal perception, and pre-concieved attitudes we both have.
