Kevin:

It has occurred to me that the greenies, let’s call them “eco-ists”, are our moral equivalent of the radical Islamists. Both want to return to a golden pre-industrial age. The Islamicists believe it is mandated by the Koran while the eco-ists believe that only by returning to the primitive state of nature described by Rousseau can mankind find salvation. In the end both are willing to murder/starve large numbers of people to accomplish their goals.
