I don't necessarily feel comfortable with his brand of radicalism or his personality but at the same time I have trouble finding fault with it. I'd support him over a Japanese whaling fleet without question. He's an extremist but without people like him any progressive cause would be poorer.Borishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00952672409601421466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022452485619502579.post-8838984541675079372011-11-04T17:19:38.186-04:002011-11-04T17:19:38.186-04:00That was certainly one of the names.

Mr Moore is apparently coming here to my home in the Middle of Nowhere to tell us why the Enbridge pipeline from Alberta to Kitimat is such a great idea.karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11131927710530023725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022452485619502579.post-91439916189546552252011-11-04T00:08:08.553-04:002011-11-04T00:08:08.553-04:00oh yeah, i'd heard of that genuine sell-out

I believe that Watson is a principled man and that sometimes living one's principles can get in the way of being a well-rounded personality.<br /><br />Mammolito on the other hand <i>is</i> just a self-serving prick. But when he was on our side (for his own purposes) he was just as effective as he is now serving Team Ford. We should use such personalities, but with our eyes open.thwaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399550285738440669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022452485619502579.post-35381653326434728212011-11-03T16:49:13.165-04:002011-11-03T16:49:13.165-04:00There is a movie around called End:Civ based on th...There is a movie around called End:Civ based on the book Endgame by Derrick Jensen that has a couple of bits of interview with Paul Watson, in which he talks about some of his former Greenpeace colleagues. They appear to have sold out to the very things Greenpeace was fighting for. Its all very disheartening. I think I am in the admiring Watson for his commitment camp. Mammolito appears to be merely self serving.karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11131927710530023725noreply@blogger.com
