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]
