Subject: CRYONICS: environmentalism

        Perhaps my characterizations of environmentalists were made with 
too broad of a brush.  I can say, however, that up here (Canada) all the 
"environmentalists" I have spoken to or heard in the media fit the 
stereotype pretty well.  So, you see, I have had a lot of negative 
conditioning.
 
        I might add that my hostility (and that of many others) would be 
defused considerably if issues like pollution, alternative energy 
sources, landfill space, and preservation of species could at least be 
discussed on their own separate merits.  They currently cannot because 
the "environmental" movement has lumped them all together in such a way 
that it is impossible to dissent from the Party Line on any issue 
without being labelled "anti-environment."  At least this has been my 
personal experience.
