- =o= Not even remotely true. There are things that Greenpeace
- has done that I do not approve of, and I have said as much in
- the past, in this very forum.

- =o= I'll inform the folks at Greenpeace about this. If you
- (or anyone else) could provide a little more detail about this

- The show in question was _Totally Hidden Video_, and the boat in
- question was the Sea Shepherd, captained by Paul Watson. I watched
- the entire clip, and _Nowhere_ in the show was Greenpeace even
- _mentioned_, let alone assigned responsibility for ramming ships.

- Gee, if you pay this little attention when watching television, I can't
- imagine your READING comprehension is too good. Maybe you should refrain
- from posting until you are able to retain more.
