All too often however, radical environmentalists are not as concerned about the environment as they are about expressing their resentment about some other issue. They see environmentalism as an acceptable channel through which to vent other feelings. Some who have no interest in functioning in the corporate or business world are embittered by this fact and by the success of their peers. Through environmentalist causes, they can lash back at those who have succeeded in these realms That just about sums it up. All you have to do is look at what kind of car they drive to determine their real attitude toward enviromentalism. If they drive a "beater", their attitudes generally reflect your astute assessment. If their driving their BMWs, Lexus', and Range Rovers, they generally are milking a paycheck out of their public character, while pursuing the lifestyle they publicly criticize others of leading. Myself, I'm an environmental capitalist. I believe in the private solution rather than the public one. But I also believe in holding corporations liable for deliberate and reckless practices that lead to unecessary pollution. Thank you for your well spoken comments. Regards, Ron
