Hey, what's so hard to believe about advocacy groups -- be they Greenpeace
or the NRA or the Catholic Church -- tilting the logic and facts of their
argument to favor their side of the argument?
And why is that cynical or circular logic?
That's just the facts of human nature. That doesn't mean that Greenpeace
doesn't want to do good things. It just means they're not going to give you
the whole truth.
I don't know about you, but I don't anybody's propaganda machine telling me
what and how to think.

Talk about circular logic.
I've heard this argument made, with more specific targets, against every
organization ever conceived, from Greenpeace to the U.S. federal
government, state governments, the NRA, the Salvation Army, the Catholic
church, the Boy Scouts, labor unions. You name it.
So, if you take your advice, you become the ultimate cynic. Once I've
lost hope in the general altruism of mankind, I'm cashing in my chips.
There are even some good corporations out there. Yes, primarily
motivated to turn a profit, but with corporate philosophies that benefit
the community, their employees, and even the environment.
