- Sounds like Green Peace needs to figure out who they really are and who they
- get their money from.. Basically what I am saying is Green Peace like many
- organizations are a small core group of person who are into power trips and
- just might still believe in what their organization supposedly stands for, but
- generally like any similiar organization contains a lot of mindless cretins who
- when you ask them why they support the organization is becuase there friends
- belong or their father or mother was a member or because the Organization
- supposedly believe in what they do, but most if you asked them what they
- believe or what the organization believes and they will get a blank stare and
- say well they believe what they do.. Basically what Im saying is the majority
- of many pro or anti environmental are just brainless and don't know what they
- are doing... If blowing treess up was fashionalbe, they would do it..
- God saves us from the sheep..
- I have lived in Alaska for the last 22+ years and I don't appreciate anyone
- telling me or my friends what to do or what we can do with our land..
- If people want a park, let them make a park in their own backyard and not in
- mine..
- Greenpeace, Russia did not want you and neither do we! (sorry old funny bumper
- sticker) and not directed at anyone..
