Some activists simply couldn’t make the transition from confrontation to consensus; it was as if they needed a common enemy. When a majority of people decide they agree with all your reasonable ideas the only way you can remain confrontational and antiestablishment is to adopt ever more extreme positions, eventually abandoning science and logic altogether in favor of zero-tolerance policies. ~Patrick Moore (Confessions of a Greenpeace Dropout…)
LOL

As if Patrick Moore, once an esteemed scientist and now a paid actor/spokesperson/shill for the chemical industry isn't in it for the money.


Nice job reading the script the PR department wrote, Patrick. You made it really believable.
