59. You're incredible myopic.

There are many, many ways to defend the environment without damaging a priceless archaeological legacy.

I agree the environment needs to be protected but NOT at the cost of vandalizing a precious artifact of this magnitude.

That's exactly the kind of short-sighted fanaticism that has earned PETA it's reputation for irresponsibility. Greenpeace has done irreparable damage, not just to this artifact but to their cause. For years wingers will counter any statement they make with this horrendous and grievous error of judgment. FFS, think of the repercussions, not just your own smug little satisfaction over getting noticed for assholery.

You should retract your post. I don't know you and I don't want to publicly shame you but your statement MUST be challenged. Please delete and I'll do the same.
