See this post:

A report once prepared by four environmental leaders, including Tom Wathen, then an environment program officer at the Pew Charitable Trusts, contains this language:

"For considerable sums of money, public opinion can be molded, constituents mobilized, issues researched, and public officials button-holed, all in a symphonic arrangement."

Not that this is news!

Most interestingly (maybe not) is that Naples is a mecca for the rich and leftist. Spielberg, Turner/etc. They want to preserve their little 'paradise' and don't care if they put the screws to the local peasant class. Who needs pesky peasants and farmers anyway!? Like Bubba said, there's no reason we can't import all our food! /sarcasm
