Emphasis on ‘Mental’

SPPI has a humorous report from Cancun:

EnvironMENTALists Protest in Cancun Climate Conference

“Crazy people are everywhere, but seem to be driven toward environmental groups like twisters to a trailer park.  Believe me, it’s no coincidence that we’re called environMENTALists… It reminds me of a book I read recently about Mafia hitman Sammy ‘the Bull’ Gravano.  There’s a story from his childhood in which Sammy’s father says of the wise guys in the neighborhood.  ‘They’re bad people.  But at least they’re OUR bad people.’  So that’s how I think of it.  They’re crazy people, but a least they’re OUR crazy people.” - John Hoskinson, communications director of the Surfrider Foundation. [1999]

Looks like Woodstock time tunneled its way to Cancun. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

In plain English: Not Nutjobs, but eco-Marxists.
