When did greenpeace ask for cash?  You must be confused.  Green does not
mean money in this case.  Although R.E.M.'s album Green did mean money.
REM thought it was a joke on the music industry the album suck, the band
even admitted this, but they still sold millions.  You may be confusing
them with some international group.  Greenpeace the environmental, peace
group was founded in Vancouver.

The Interprovical Woodworkers Association's 10 million members, who have
world-wide support, did ask for cash, "Cut a check".  Oh sorry that is
INTERNATONAL.W.A they are the international group every one is confusing
with green peace.  Funny nobody get the real name right it is "THE
INTERNATIONAL WOODWORKS ASSOCIATION: U.S.-CANADA.  Sorry the the
Canadian local branch is not even independent enough to get ride of the
"U.S.-".  Gee and some people still think is was a Canadian issue.
