Heheheh. Good.
I used to think Greenpeace were, and I repeat _were_ a reasonable
organisation and had a reasonable outlook on life and the effects of living.
I mean, they combat pollution and **** by sailing an underpowered, rusting,
old, uneconomical and possibly dangerous, fleet of ships around the world
causing almost as much pollution as they want to stop, it seems. Then they
target what I deem to be probably one of the most environmentally beneficial
companies around. OK, so Range Rovers aren't economical, but if it weren't
for other vehicles in the Landrover fleet, how would anything get done in
forests, up mountains, down valleys, in the name of conservation and ecology
without a 4x4? All those 'Save the Rhino' videos and 'Survival'
documentaries .. how did they get there, and what vehicle did they use?
Landrover.
It's actions like these that really make me wonder why I ever, in the past,
supported them. This was such a misguided and poorly implemented 'protest'
that it could do nothing but harm for their organisation and it's ideals.
I really think Greenpeace and other 'environmentalists really ought to
target their targets with more thought before they make dumbarses of
themselves.
Ah well ....
