- I never said I agreed with the French government. All I said was one

- Cmon! Greenpeace totally preys in on the big nations because they know
- they can not risk any sort of bad publicity. Greenpeace, or some other
- radical envirornmentalist group, tried to board a Soviet fishing
- vessel in the North Pacific once, too bad they found out it was a KGB spy
- troller, and they almost got shot out of the water. Our government is
- extremely tolerant to these type of groups.

- Maybe but they are all in the movement. Perhaps one day, soon
- hopefully, Greenpeace has a big awakening call. Imagine if a US Naval
- Frigate just stopped a French merchant vessel, boy would our
- Government catch hell over it. But since its a peace loving group
- like Greenpeace, oh no they can disobey any law and get away with it!
