John,
Not really sure what your post implies, though I have a vague idea that you
are not happy with our current administration and lack the patience to wait
until election day to voice your opinion.
>From Dictionary. COM:
en*vi*ron*men*tal adj. (n-vrn-mntl, -vrn-)
1.Of, relating to, or associated with the environment.
2.Relating to or being concerned with the ecological impact of altering the
environment.
3.Medicine. Of or relating to potentially harmful factors originating in the
environment: environmental illness.
One would assume that ESRI uses the first (and most common) definition,
thereby having NOTHING to do with the second definition.
I have always believed that one has the right to voice there opinion at the
right place and the right time. How the environment is being looked after in
this country is a matter of opinion. This list is neither the right place or
the right time for political banter. It reeks of using a source of good (the
list) to try to sway public opinion (or as I like to call it, imposing your
beliefs upon me).

somewhat less relevant
Hi,
New to the list, came upon this item that, frankly, deeply shocked,
saddened and, to be honest angered me...
Just thought that folks might like to have some idea of where their hard
earned software dollars and going to and what kind of a "future" their
investment just may be bringing them (especially environmentally speaking).

(PS the Jerry Lewis mentioned is a Republican representative in CA, not
the comedian...).
Please also notice the recent (and largest) donations to Ralph Nader
(somewhat cynical.... so much for his not worth being considerd "a
spoiler")..
