Okay, I really am sorry you were exposed to carcinogen polluted water. Why do you believe all environmentalists use politics of fear and are evil? You should consider each issue on a case by case basis and not broad brush important topics.There is a spectrum of people who care for the environment just like there is a spectrum of people in the military. Billions were bilked from Iraq and fear mongering was used and yet some admirable people have accomplished some good things in Iraq. Would you broad brush Iraq and those involved as all Iraqbaloney because the politics of fear was used and pocketbooks were padded with billions of tax payer dollars? I would not. Do you see my point- you are broad brushing complex issues to assume all those who care and support the environment are using politics of fear. You benefit immensely from the work of environmentalists everyday and your daughters will also.

Life should be balanced and just as economics are important and defense so is human health which is directly impacted by air, water and soil supplies. As much as half of all cancers are caused by environmental conditions and the balance of environmentalists who often simply care and make little money offsets unbridled corporations. Some people would not do what was right without environmental standards and laws. The impact might not occur for years. Would you want a company to be allowed to dump carcinogens in your daughters drinking water? The work of environmentalists have stopped this and yet you broadbrush their efforts by just looking at the radicals.

Should I judge the military only by the rapists or murderers or the ones that stole billions? I prefer to see the entire picture and not just frame groups by the radicals or extremists. It is dishonesty at its worst because often there are very sincere people working in various ways to protect you and they are not paid much. That goes for both the military and the environmentalists.
