I have always been more than amused at the name Treehuggers. As if it is bad? I never got that?

I've been known to use that one! In the 1970's, a environmentalist group, Green Left, sued the Army Corps of Engineers to block the building of floodgates in two places that would have blocked the Gulf of Mexico from entering the lake thus flooding New Orleans. Now that's what I call 'Treehuggers'!
