I remember that--I saw the film. It was excellent. And what would it profit a man if he gained the whole world and lost his soul? But for Wales?
To Richey Rich (hope I got it right) confronting him on his false witness.

So Darryl "Spike a Tree for Jesus" Cherney finally gets justice, sort of. Good for him -- and for his lawyers. I dunno. There's too many troglodytes among the monkeywrenchers, giving the very concept of environmental stewardship a bad name, much akin to anti-abortion activists who feel justified in using both threatened and actual violence to promote their holy cause. I'm reminded of the famous dialogue from Robert Bolt's play, "A Man for All Seasons" -- ***** Roper: So now you'd give the Devil benefit of law! More: Yes. What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil? Roper: I'd cut down every law in England to do that! More: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned round on you -- where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country's planted thick with laws from coast to coast -- man's laws, not God's -- and if you cut them down -- and you're just the man to do it -- d'you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake. ***** Concerning both environmental issues and the abortion issue, one irony is that disrespect for law seems to be as much a problem for those in charge of enforcing the law as for the activists themselves. For in both areas there seem to be cases where people have been framed by law enforcement officials. Apparently there are "William Roper" types among the police as well as among the activists. God save us from everyone who thinks his personal agenda is so holy that any means are justifiable in promoting it. It doesn't take many such people to throw society into chaos.
