HEARTBURN!

The Australian news site Crikey.com.au, reports on a survey of opinion about the trustworthiness of various charities: "The five least trusted charities are all essentially political in nature - and three of them deal with matters environmental. Interestingly, while more detailed lists were not published in the mag, the sixth least-trusted charity was yet another green group, Planet Ark. CARE Australia - the group that Malcolm Fraser has been so enamoured with but was audited by the Commonwealth Government back in Keating days when questions arose over its financial management - another political, humanitarian charity, came in at number seven. Indeed, according to this survey, Ronald McDonald House is twice as trusted as Amnesty International and more than twice as trusted as the Australian Conservation Foundation ... The Greenpeaces and ACFs are very good at manipulating the media and setting its agendas. However, it seems that people don't actually think all that much of them."

Many people would like to be kind to others so Leftists exploit that with their nonsense about equality. Most people want a clean, green environment so Greenies exploit that by inventing all sorts of far-fetched threats to the environment. But for both, the real motive is to promote themselves as wiser and better than everyone else, truth regardless.
