Paging PETA.
Tell that to all the ultra lib Dr.'s that own most of them in Alaska . Talk about not informed .
the natural connection of ski-football has proved to provide special access to the Almighty
How many trees were cut down to build Redford's Sundance Ski area in Utah? Robert Redford is a socialist slimeball. I wonder if anyone has monitored the water quality downstream from his ski area.
We FReeped Robert Redford when he came to Colorado last October to campaign for Senator Ken Salazar. The crowd was the same leftist, communist, marxist , socialist skumbags that we FReep here on a regular basis. They are nothing but a Bush hate group made up of burned out old 60's hippies, and the Green Party.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Robert F. Kennedy Biography
The way Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has assumed command of the Water Keeper Alliance, you’d almost think he started the environmental movement on his own. But he actually stumbled into it as a result of a 1984 criminal conviction for heroin possession. A judge sentenced him to 800 hours of community service, which he satisfied with volunteer work for the Hudson River Foundation. After his 800 hours were used up, the organization (now operating as the Hudson Riverkeepers) hired Kennedy as its “chief prosecuting attorney.”
In the years since his drug conviction, Kennedy has also gone to work for the Natural Resources Defense Council and assumed a professorship in the law school at Pace University. Kennedy also started Pace’s environmental law clinic specifically to sue governments and businesses on behalf of Riverkeeper.
Robert Kennedy approaches environmental law with a brash, take-no-prisoners approach that tends to alienate many who might otherwise be his allies. After working with him on a $10 million New York City watershed agreement, Putnam County (NY) legal counsel George Rodenhausen told reporters that “he separates himself from good science at times in order to aggressively pursue an issue and win.”
In July 2003, a major U.S. pork producer obtained an indictment against Kennedy in Poland for committing slander during an inflammatory rant against the company’s Polish subsidiary. The indictment charges that Kennedy spouted “untrue information” and “consciously manipulated the facts” with the intent to “discredit the company.”
Kennedy’s harshest public thrashing to date, however, came from one of his closest colleagues, Riverkeeper founder Robert Boyle. Along with seven other Riverkeeper board members, Boyle resigned in 2000 after Kennedy insisted upon hiring a convicted environmental felon as the group’s chief scientist. At the time, Boyle told the New York Post that Kennedy “is very reckless,” and added that “[h]e’s assumed an arrogance above his intellectual stature.”
Reflecting on the episode later, Boyle gave the New York Times an apt summary of Kennedy’s attitude regarding his environmental crusades: “I thought he was thinking of himself and not the cause of the river,” Boyle said. “It all became his own greater glory.”

Robert Francis Kennedy Jr., often referred to as RFK Jr. or Bobby Jr., (born 1954) is the third of eleven children born to Ethel Skakel Kennedy and the late Robert F. Kennedy. He is a lawyer, environmentalist, and radio host on the Air America Radio network.
Kennedy graduated from Harvard University and obtained a law degree from the University of Virginia Law School. In 1984, he joined the River Keepers organization as an attorney and worked with that organization to prosecute polluters of the Hudson River. With fellow environmental attorney John Cronin, Kennedy has created a partnership between the Hudson Riverkeepers and Pace University Law School. Pace University's Environmental Law Clinic allows second and third year law students to try cases against Hudson River polluters (under a special court order). Kennedy has credited the energy and intelligence of the students, as well as access to the Pace law faculty and library, to several legal victories over clients represented by New York's richest and most prestigious law firms. Kennedy currently serves as a Senior Attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council, or NRDC.
Kennedy divorced Emily Black and later married Mary Richardson. In 1983, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. was arrested in South Dakota for heroin possession and went into drug treatment for his heroin addiction; he has been clean for over twenty years. Unfortunately, a year later, his brother David Kennedy died of a drug overdose of Demerol and cocaine.
Kennedy, who currently co-hosts Ring of Fire on Air America Radio, was considered to be a possible candidate for Attorney General of New York in 2006. However, on January 25, 2005, Kennedy announced that he had ruled out a candidacy for the office. Should Kennedy have decided to run, he likely would have faced off against former brother-in-law Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary.
Kennedy had written various books and articles on environmental issues, including The Riverkeepers and Crimes Against Nature. He contributes to Sierra Club publications, such as Sierra, as well as to reports authored by the Natural Resources Defense Council.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is senior attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council, chief prosecuting attorney for Riverkeeper and president of Waterkeeper Alliance.

July 2005
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s article claiming a massive conspiracy between the government and drug companies to "poison a generation of American children."
Dr. Tim Johnson on ABC News
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is an "environmental activist and not a scientist nor a doctor and is not in a position to fully understand these things."
Don Imus, who interviewed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Monday, was quoted as saying, "What ABC did last night was embarrassing and disgraceful."
Don Imus' wife (who is also not a scientist nor a doctor) is also an activist against the vaccine.
