Lies and Untruths

In a quest to right wrongs created by environmental extremists in my own home town I keep running into lies and untruths all across the globe, told by extremists to scare the bejeezus out of people. This blog is a repository for debunking some of those extremist lies..... should I be kind and call them misformations of the truth?

Note from a friend re: extemism

...an email (below) taken off yesterday's "extremists" message board.

The connection between environmentalism, collectivism, organized labor and now trial lawyers, the sympathetic Left media and public relation firms is WELL established, well funded and pervasive. Those who want to think this is "extremism" in our thinking are prone to be overcome by this corrupt theology.
(no wonder I get ornery; I read too much of the opponents crap!! ;-)
