In order to credit their point of view I have to have some respect for it. Personally I have a big problem with respecting the point of view of someone who is basing their policy arguments on emotion rather than fact.

They are entitled to their opinion, and I am entitled to think them fools for holding it.

What has happened to the world that we no longer try to differentiate between good ideas and bad, sound logic and foolishness, reason and emotion? The greenpeace people are a minority of fools who believe themselves more enlightened than we unwashed masses, and therefore deem themselves the only ones worthy of setting a policy.

Nonsense.

Hey, I certainly don’t agree with everything Greenpeace have to say. I was just pointing out their demonstration did not invalidate the point they were making. I don’t get passionate about saving the whale. But are the Japanese hunting them for scientific research? Of course not.
