Re: Pirate editorial cartoon (April 21)
While it is always nice to be noticed, sometimes a reference is extremely wrong-headed, as in this cartoon by Graeme MacKay.
For the record, Greenpeace does not condone violence. That includes not condoning the violence of pirates.
Greenpeace was founded on non-violence, on peaceful resolutions to global problems that endanger us all. The implication that we support violence and fear to intimidate and harm others for monetary gain is ill-informed and deeply distasteful.
