An Austrian professor suggests that today's eco-zealots may be as much
like the Puritans as they are Marxists as they demand "cleansing" of the
world.

This is not an entirely ridiculous view in my opinion. Mind you, Marxism
itself has always (ironically) had a major element of quasi-religious
zealotry about it: while loathing religion as "the opiate of the
masses", Marxists have pushed their own loony economic theories with all
the fervour of religious fanatics.

Marxism -- or *any* economic theory -- do you personally find "loony"?

To give of yourself, you must first know yourself.
