Actually I believe there are a few others including those that wrote me 
off list but for obvious reasons don't want to express it on the list.

I think everything under capitalism needs to be discussed. Capitalism is 
"doing things" in the environment and we have to take a position on it. 
It is even a point of organizing, as your mention of the Clamshell 
Alliance points out (even if they were wrong). This list, also, is not a 
reflection of what's out there, only a small intellectual sliver of it. 
This is a positive thing, not a bad thing, but the left, in developing 
countries especially,  has positions I believe closer to mine the 
general anti-nuclear milieu on Western environmentalism that is 
reflected in an almost absolute majority here on Marxmail.

Louis, I debate with ANYONE. This issue is too important. I set up on 
dairy on the dialykos because it elicited so many responses in the first 
HOUR of posting. I will also agree with anyone if we are on the same 
side of a particular issue. I don't get liberal guilt because my view is 
accepted by more people on the right of the political spectrum  than the 
left. Just don't give a shit. The issue is the issue...and, IMO, you are 
totally copping out not want to discuss "energy issues under 
capitalism". Maybe we should wait until  the Revolution to discuss 
racism then.
