 Where? Where?

 Your risk is not so much pontificating as irrelevance. Greenpeace
 does not "live by the sword." Being selectively obnoxious hardly
 qualifies as violence in my book.

 The action of the French government was not only distasteful,
 but stupid. Thanks to its action, Greenpeace is now $100 richer
 than it was, courtesy of me. I'm sure many others reponded the
 same way. I hardly think that was the goal of the French 
 government.
