Yes.  Because while some small part of it does make sense, a
great deal of it is abject foolishness.

What Greenpeace did to the Canadian Inuit people with the
idiotic idea that hunting seals was bad, was just inexcuseable.

In Greenpeace's favor though, is that they refuse to support
racism.  They kicked Paul Watson out years ago...

I am *much* more concerned with the fact that they do a lot of
really bad work, and that they spend an inordinate amount of
resources on generating funds which *do not* go to the projects
that people believe they are supporting, and instead are spent
"administrative costs".
