You and I probably have more in common than you realize. Certainly in that we treasure wild things we are alike.

I'm enough of an environmentalist and known enough ecoterrorists (at least people who gave aid and comfort to such) that I know the difference. There are people who can't be trusted on that side as well. For my part, Bush is doing fine. It's too many people that's the problem.

Presidential Politics Divide Silicon Valley
By LAURIE J. FLYNN

Published: April 12, 2004

AN FRANCISCO, April 11 - Marc Andreessen, the Silicon Valley entrepreneur who in 1995 made a fortune taking Netscape public, is not returning calls from the Democratic Party these days.

In the last two election cycles, Mr. Andreessen donated $350,000 to Democratic candidates, including a single $250,000 check to the Democratic National Committee during Al Gore's 2000 run for the White House. He even held a dinner at his home in Palo Alto, Calif., for John Kerry's Senate campaign in 2000.

But for now, he is sitting this one out. "If they're going to run on an anti-business message, forget me," he said.

you and your mule, J. Fonda Kerry are enviroterrorists. Kerry would be worse than Gore. We would all be riding bikes, while he heats and cools his FIVE mansions.

BTW, How much money did Kerry give to protect the environment in..oh let's say any given five year period????

ZERO...one year.... and in his charitable years...How about a whopping 0.7 percent of his income ...that is...assuming he gave ALL the money he donated to charity for those years to environmental issues. can you spell HYPOCRITE?

***************************************************

When Sen. Kerry released his latest tax returns in April, he reported no charitable contributions... A review of his returns between 1990 and 1995 found that he had earned $742,042 and donated $4,869 -- 0.7 percent of his income -- to charity.
