-
- How can they stop French Nuclear Tests?? They can write and give
- lobbyists money to lobby special world groups, ie UN, WC, etc. This is
- usually much cheaper and more effective than standing in front of a
- truck or any other such manner.

-
- No big deal, my complaint was that Greenpeace shows no thanks towards
- the US who spends billions each year on the environment.

-
- Sure I feel that Greenpeace seems a little extreme and non-thankful.
- However there are much more effective ways to protest rather than their
- silly news-drawing sit in's, etc.
-

-
- Yes they can satisfy a lot of people if; 1) They cut the extremeism and
- try to do things more effectively; 2) Get better PR people; and 3) Start
- lobbying world organizations who can make a difference.
