David Piehl writes: I'm not sure why Scott, who admitted that he's never attended a STRIDE meeting, feels the need to label STRIDE members as leftist who are against our market economy. I can speculate that this is an outgrowth of the project organizers' attempts to marginalize and demonize those who oppose "the project". For the record, the hundreds of members of STRIDE are a very diverse group. There are some very left leaning members, as well as center and very conservative members. There are members with MBA's and PhD's, as well as "punks"!! It's true that Greens tend to be more proactive on environmental and quality of life issues than some of the less left leaning political parties, but that doesn't make everyone who is concerned about the environment and quality of life a leftist. You don't need a particular political leaning to recognize when big money corporate influence unneccessarily costs the taxpayers money and community livability.
