While I tend to agree with you, I suspect there are millions of un- and
under-employed blue-collar workers in America who would beg to differ.

That's the third time you've claimed that saving jobs is justification for
destroying the environment.

It's a silly claim. The whole point of environmental protection is to
protect our future. What's worse? Losing 1000 jobs now? Or losing
millions of lives in the future, never mind all the non-human life
affected?

As I said, I tend to agree with you. I have no desire to see America
re-industrialize -- I happen to *like* the service economy. :-)

But then, I also won't dare complain about how there are no decent jobs for
unskilled workers, as so many do. Too many environmental activists refuse
to see any connection between their actions in the '60s and '70s, and the
long-term consequences.
