Environmentalists are mentally ill:

 - they get a law passed to save gas by forcing car-makers to make
   smaller, less safe cars causing more highway deaths

      Burning less oil is more important than human lives?

 - they get a law passed to save endangered fish along some rivers and
   the farmers cannot get water and are the ones now "endangered"

      Fish are more important than humans? 

      Its "OK" for the farmers to die instead?

 - they get a laws passed to make it twice as expensive to produce
   electricity in California and then cannot figure out how come they
   cannot get any power or have to pay too much

      Too many regulations are more important than humans?

 - they do not want oil drilling in certain areas but ignore the fact
   that if there is a shortage of heating oil, little babies could
   freeze to death

      Are a few Caribou are more important that babies?
 
 - they interfere with military target practice on deserted islands
   and ignore the need for self-defense or a military force for
   problems like Iraq

      Are a few birds more important than national security?

 - they have always protested nuclear weapons, but only with weapons
   of mass destruction is there a defense against more "Hitlers" in
   this world

      Are a few more holocausts what these mentally ill people want?

      "The bomb" saved hundreds of thousands of US soldiers' lives
      when Japan surrendered. (Granted, they could have bombed
      military targets or some less populated area for an effective
      demonstration to get them to surrender.)

 - they moan and groan about CO2 emission, when in fact more CO2 means
   more green plants to counter the effect of CO2 and bring the amount
   of CO2 back in "balance".

      Are the deaths of millions of starving people worth it when
      world economies fail due to excessive regulation?

These people may mean well, but I can only conclude they are mentally
ill when they cannot see the harm they are doing. Some regulation is
needed, that is for sure, but these people are no longer sensible, but
fanatics.
