Would you mind explaining what you think >the "radical overal [sic] goals" are for these organizations, >and where you got your information? Jesus Christ. I just posted a long laundry list about the Greens position on land along with a citation. >=o= The Green Party's agenda is no secret whatsoever. The web >site at http://www.greens.org/ spells it out pretty clearly. Very few of the people who think they are Greens are familiar at all with these documents. But they are useful -- show them to people who are inclined toward Greens and they tend to change their mind. We were just discussing the national program located at: http://www.envirolink.org/greens/usa/plat/p_toc.html Now if *that's* the sort of thing you want to defend, be my guest, but that is hardly a conservative platform and it's something I've found from personal experience that few people, including mainstream enviros, are willing to endorse. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Brian Carnell http://www.carnell.com/ brian@carnell.com
