I have never in the many years I have been on the BeeL received an off 
list email that was insulting. I have had some that disagreed who sent 
me an email explaining their differences, but we conducted an exchange 
that was illuminating. Unfortunately, some with fervor, no matter which 
side, tend toward the behavior I experienced.

It is interesting that the whole topic of sustainability seems to wander 
into the hyper sphere with lots of heavy breathing. It seems that there 
is purity on only one side and if you do not buy into the hype, you are 
condemned.

I think it was the spotted owl for Christmas dinner comment that sent 
them over the edge.

To put their mind at ease, our Christmas dinner is actually roasted Bald 
Eagle, since they are off the endangered list. Just doing our part for 
the planet.
