Dude.

I knew about Ira Einhorn from watching TV, and that he had been a charismatic leader among hippie types, but had forgotten that he was associated with Earth Day. I can't say that it surprises me, though. Wanting clean air and water is one thing, but turning it into a religion with all the worst twists that humans have done to that is just insanity. It has lead us into economic suicide and major violations of our liberties and property rights.

Einhorn is an exceptionally adept demagogue who avoided capture and trial for the 1977 murder of Holly Maddux until 2001, but is now serving a life sentence. The MSNBC refers to him in the past tense, which could give one the impression that he's dead, which, although richly deserved, he is not.
