Once again,Mr. Keeler attempts to make his point by calling people with opposing views names, and touting a long list of generalized assertions which get farther and farther off topic as he progresses.

Yes, Mr, Keeler, I can "imagine" environmentalists using facts and truths.  They have often do so in these pages.  It is harder, though, to imagine anti-environmentalists refraining from name-calling, ranting, half-truths and broad generalizations.

I can also imagine Puget Sound free from PCB, pesticides, etc.  What is your point?  Do you have some plan to bring this to fruition?  We would all like to see a cleaner, healthier Puget Sound, and I am certain that you share this ideal.  Please let us know how you can help us accomplish this.

Coal trains are the topic of the moment.  Many of us are opposed to them, for multiple reasons, and with a little more attention to the debate, one finds that the "greens," including those nasty Sierra Club folks, have not limited their protests to coal dust alone, as Mr. Keeler asserts, and that the majority of scientists not only endorse theories of global climate change, but now predict that it is happening faster, and to a greater degree, than originally thought - though how Mr. Keeler leaps from the current topic (ie: coal trans) to what he dismisses as the "failed agenda" or what nobody any longer calls "global warming."

But then, as an environmentally concerned citizen, I am also one of those whom Mr. Keeler dismisses, branding us "eco fascists" - the same group have have brought you cleaner air and cleaner water and a healthier environment.
