I certainly do not concede it should have been removed in the first place

They must of thought so, or they would not have removed it.

I am still boiling over the environmental groups pressuring African Countries to refuse our food aid. This is the really slimy behavior, in fact, Criminal, IMO. Children are starving in Africa tonight because of Greenpeace, Earth First, and other groups like them.

Just as bad is the behavior of the New York Times and the Washington Post in refusing to report it. The sequence I posted earlier about this, Message 17939162
is clear, and no one has tried to refute it.

I know there are a lot of "Environmentalists" on this board who think I am a nut case about this subject. I would love to see them defend this behavior. Do they think that feeding Africans genetically altered food that they themselves are buying in American SuperMarkets is going to hurt the Africans?

I had no prior opinion on the NEA, FL. And the materials certainly looked pretty wishy washy questionable to me. And after listening to the new president of the organization on NPR yesterday, I'm definately reserved on the org. Even the NPR was grilling him on it somewhat.
