    Radical Industry Executives

    Here's a dispatch from the Missoulian:

    HELENA - Former U. S. Rep. Ron Marlenee and state Rep. John Sinrud have formed an election-year issue advocacy group to promote the use of Montana's natural resources, protect property rights and stop "radical environmentalists." The two Bozeman Republicans have launched Western Tradition Partnership and are soliciting money and memberships from industry and business executives.

    I've always found it odd that people who want to protect the environment and the ecosystem are branded as "radical," while industry and business executives destroying the environment are just called "industry and business executives." Isn't it radical to destroy the very ecosystem humans need to survive?
