Dear Jeff,

Good point. In fact, I apologize to the Goddess for my abuse of the
environment daily. We are all part of the problem. But that doesn't mean we
shouldn't be critical of decisions made by powerful entities that in one fell
swoop can create as much damage as all the rest of us combined. If we wait
until we are all perfect to discuss these things, we will all be dead before
they are discussed. While I agree, that villifying folks who don't agree
with any particular point of view is counterproductive, I also know there is
a distinct difference between tolerance and apathy.

Thank you for keeping us aware that individual consumption decisions,
collectively, make a difference and are the engine that drive corporate
decisions. Your reminder is a form of self-criticism we all can use.
Critical thought is necessary for change whether individual or collective.

Marcie
