Yeah, I know that ain’t gonna happen.
I’m going to break a rule and tell you to go read a ThinkProgress piece, largely because whoever wrote it probably had to fight down a wave of nausea afterward.

The article, for those who don’t want to read even a sick-to-its-stomach TP piece, pretty much it’s one long exercise in trying to explain to its readers just how badly Greenpeace wrecked a portion of the Nazca Line site in Peru* (see here for background). There’s no real defense to the facts on the ground, as it were: the Nazca site IS incredibly fragile, to the point where special shoes are worn to prevent footprints – and Greenpeace DID illegally enter the site and permanently mark it up with their heavy-sneakered tread. The question then becomes: how can Greenpeace make this up to Peru?
Easy – and impossible: they can start by giving up the people who did the crime. Continue reading Greenpeace must help the Peruvian authorities put some white dudes in jail.
