Nope. I cannot name 10 off the top of my head. There are far more than 10, however. And what would the point of me naming them be? For you to point out what dangereous socialist practices they advocate?

I didn't think so. And the point would be that even though you could name 100, there are far more than 100,000 wackos and sheep, which would make my math correct and NOT "devoid of reason".

If I were one of them, I could then ask you to name ten industrialists that you admire, and castigate them for the earth-destroying capitalist dogs they are.

But this thread is about eco-terroists, not industial earth-destroying capitalist dogs. We can start another thread about that if it makes you more comfortable.

Unlike you, I don't think there is an absolute involved here.

See, that's BS. I don't believe there is an absolute here. I am certain if the topic was Industrialists who pollute and I chastised their supporters as sheeps or wackos you would be perfectly fine with it.

When it comes to questions of the environment, I don't have a pat answer. I am not an advocate of the insanity of stopping all commerce in the name of the environment, nor am I an advocate of allowing the market to regulate its own behavior in the naive hope it will do more good than harm. I listen to both sides and make a decision based on the individual situation under discussion. I honestly do think that both sides perform a necessary function in ensuring that there is balance between the views.

Yeah, you say that but you sure got defensive when I question the common sense and reasoning of the "environmenttal activists".

PD, you may try to play moderate, but you are an old dog, with Democratic fleas.
