Christine, if you believe yelling at young American sailors and taunting them as they cross the brow of a submarine for volunteering to protect nuclear weapons, shows some kind of virtuous heart, then we simply disagree. Non-violent protest is fine, and should be protected. That doesn't make all non-violent protest right and reasonable. The KKK can perform marches, and chant nonviolently. Just because they march doesn't mean they have a heart, or that it's in the right place. I've seen the faces of Greenpeace protestors close up Christine. Their expressions and words describe hate, not love and a heart. Greenpeace is their religion. And like a cult they see salvation in belonging and worshipping the cause. Nothing reasonable matters, it's all or nothing with them. It's a good thing most Americans see the world through different rose colored glasses. After all their membership is down well over 50% in the last 10 years. And one of their most influential leaders quit in disgust due to the rising influences of radical elements of the group. By the way, you don't influence people and change their heart and mind by yelling at them and taunting them. The opposite is most often what happens. Michael
