Oh, I'd like to say you're right ... but I'd be lying. The born again bozos annoy the fuck out of me. If I was in DV's position, there would be a customer service rep someplace that would have a story about a real asshole he/she got on the phone today, until that dish was gone.
FYI - I greatly admire the ACLU. Greenpeace means well, but they are too far off the mark most of the time. The PETA folks truly annoy me - and there are a lot of folks who hate PETA who think just about like them.
I don't care if the idea you are pushing is that man is equal to the snaildarter, so we a) should protect them at all costs, or
have no more obligation to care about the environment than they do, you are still an ignorant fuck who should go live among the animals.
