The End of Violence The last thing enviros need now is a bout of radicalism	David Roberts	22 Nov 2004	Soapbox
Enviros made unprecedented efforts to sway the 2004 election with legitimate tools: advertising, fundraising, rallying, knocking on doors. It didn't work. Apparently that fact is not sitting well. The top response in a poll asking Grist readers where green-minded folks should direct their energy in the next four years was "armed resistance" -- by a 10-point margin. You might say arm ...

In Nevada, Kerry trumpets hi ...
