An admiring fan sent me this: I saw your post and read your home page. I think you may be able to form an alliance with TWO different groups that I associate with, People For the Ethical Treatment of Plants ( PETP), and the Neanderthal Anti-Defamation League (NADL). ---NAME WITHELD. My research on these organizations is summarized below: PETP First PETP. They are sensitive to the harm done to plants. We have all seen time lapse films of how plants react to light, reaching for the sun, and how they cringe from heat. They have feeling too. It just takes an altered time scale to watch them! Imagine the pain a poor carrot must feel being ripped up by its roots and eaten!! Now many of the useless species PETP wants to eliminate are HERBIVORES. They devoir poor helpless plants (who can't even run away!). I think there is a clear basis for cooperation here. NADL The position of NADL is probably best conveyed by the poem HUMANITY EVIL . Since it was inspired by another poem AMERICA EVIL , I will include both of them on my homepage. There may be no direct connection between this environmental group and People for the Extinction of Animals, but they should both appeal to those with the same kind of outlook. ,,,,,,, _______________ooo___(_O O_)___ooo_______________ (_) jim blair (jeblair@facstaff.wisc.edu) Madison Wisconsin USA.
