I was curious why they targeted him, so I looked it up. Seems he does research into the genetics of fast-growing poplars, in an attempt to use them as a resource rather than slower growing trees. IOW, he's a greenie.
But some of the group that burnt him out were opposed to genetic research and engineering, so they went after him.
Speaking of the women in this group: You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think.
LOL! Well said. :-)
Yes, that is what it was about. This group was ticked off because of the genetic research that was being done.
