Peter Garret was not averse to bible bashing people for 500km when they were trapped in a tour bus with him in the old days as an 'Oils' icon. Perhaps he could now have a word with that portion of the US constituency who think nothing should be done about looking after the enviroment. Might even convert a few who could then go on about it 'till dawn with their old friends.
