Sue me, but I like her message. She is not a fanatic enviro-warrior, she is, like me, a conscientious steward of our ecosystem. I fish often, and nothing bothers me more than seeing some asshole throw their garbage in the water or out on the shore. The way I read the story, she was getting stressed out about every little enviro-nuance, which leads to the angry, intolerant econazi way of life. Her hubby said "lighten up, Francis" and to enjoy life, and she figured out how to do both. Not to mention, if you are gonna be a mermaid, you gotta be as hot as she is.
Flame away.
