Between the lines - Letter to the Editor

Sierra, Nov-Dec, 2003 by Andy Feeney

There's a clear political message implicit in your July/August issue: In a world where corporations and dictators have so often followed the classic strategy of "divide and conquer," it is imperative for environmentalists and other people of good will to adopt a counterstrategy of "unite and resist." And whatever our religious preferences, environmentalists might do well to imitate Michael Soule's practice of Buddhist compassion, even toward our apparent enemies, as a way of fostering the united action that's necessary.
