An old saying I like very much says that there would be no such thing as the
environmental movement t'were it not for scientific illiteracy. The emphasis
is on regulating the means rather than the results, and that is just a sign
of control freaks rather than a desire for a solution. Blaming the Religious
Right is either just plain ignorant or a desire for a flame war.
