Reply #73: Exactly. It also smacks of "if you're not perfect, you're scum" sanctimony.

How about if we all eat the elephant (no pun intended here, either) that is the Earth's environmental problems one piece at a time? Sure, Al Gore isn't perfect, but then I don't remember him ever claiming to be. He is, however, committed to doing something positive about climate change, and that certainly entitles him to a little slack. It would be much more helpful if the people and organizations who share a mission to save the planet actually worked together and supported each other, rather than engaging in battles over who's vision is more pure.

I would also be very surprised if any member of PETA is perfect either, for that matter. Do they all walk around sweeping the pavement in front of themselves, lest they kill an insect inadvertently? No? Then they're hypocrites who will burn in the lowest circles of Hell!!!!
