Can't you be for or against something without having to be some kind of facist? (I'm sorry I can't spell the term.) I am all for cleaning up the enviroment and taking care of nature, but I'm not some kind of egomaniacal crazy about it. Seems a bit unnessicary IMHO.

Pope Benedict rece3ntly said that we are called to be stewards of the earth (after all, he believes that Someone gave it to us to take care of), but that taking care of the earth CANNOT get in the way of our ability to take care of each other.
Al Gore, Philip Pullman, James Dobson, and Michael Moore are all examples of taking a pretty-good idea way too far, to the point at which you're willing to push other people around to ensure that the good idea gets implemented. Saving the world should not - CANNOT - include the deployment of coercive tactics (I say coercive because fascist sounds too much like hyperbole).
Even if it turns out I don't have a choice in such matters as environmentalism, rationalism, charity or social welfare, I would at least prefer that they be decent enough to grant me the illusion of choice.
