Um .... I'm not sure this is a good idea. If it gets out that ferret people
have been telling outright lies, I think it will hurt the cause more than
help it. I understand what you're saying, but "the end justifies the means"
never was such a great idea and is generally considered false. Personally,
I tend to discount causes that use those kind of techniques (like the "free
<someoneorother> activists on campus who yelled: "Look! This man is a Nazi!
He looks like a Nazi!" when my husband disagreed with them -- he was wearing
a black leather jacket and has blond hair)
