Certainly awareness of the environment and the earth's eco-system are important for sustainability on various levels but ramming fishing vessels and endangering human lives to save whales really smacks of a fucked up God complex.

And now most people who haven't been brainwashed by the musings of Greenpeace (and believe me I see it,...any day now 'til classes begin in September, scores and scores of 19 and 20 years olds are going to knock on my door touting the praises of Greenpeace, yet when I offer an alternative to what they've been told to believe, they will argue fervently and accuse me of everything anti-environmental under the sun,......Yaaaaaawwwnnnnnnn.) see Greenpeace as militant environmentalists, which in many instances they are.

I wonder if Greenpeace picks up the tab when their disciples smash windows and destroy private property at WTO meeting. Ironic though, in causing such destruction, the capitalistic wheel turns harder and more often to replace the damage. Factories emitting pollutants will replace the bricks and glass, tranporting the materials by vehicles will emit more greenhouse gases and those who do the work get paid then occationally eat ate McDonald's. Funny ain't it.
