-> and seems to get the Greenie nod ... what more do you want, mate ? 
  
A TV program showing the Chinese factory where it's made, the pollution 
produced, the conditions under which the people work, etc., might make 
a difference. 
  
We're having a Federal Election here in Canada. I saw a representative 
of the Sierra Club on TV last night, giving assessments of the various 
parties' platforms, judged from a purely environmentalist point of 
view. Of the five parties she studied, the Green Party came THIRD! Two 
other parties (both much bigger than the Green Party) have *better* 
environmental programs than the Greens'. 
  
I used to support the Greens. Not any more. They've become dominated by 
a bunch of nitwits.
