I'll join this conversation to a greater extent tomorrow (going to a
gathering tonight to study sacred-flame sex rituals. If you don't hear
from me tomorrow you'll know I was converted to earth-paganism!)

But I need to nip this idea in the bud before it spreads:

>IMO, there is a serious threat of these Green Fascists linking up with

>advances.

'Tisn't ever going to happen, because fundamentalists in general are
pro-industry and anti-environmental, and because environmentalist
activists lend their expertise to groups involved in pro-choice and
gay rights activities. Technology in and of itself simply doesn't
constitute a large enough "leapard" to unite the two tribes against.

Sin,
