Mr Marshall: Recall that I wrote the following: "To me it looks like this salvage rider is the environmental equivalent of the anti-Jewish laws passed by the Nazis in the mid-30s and which paved the way for the Holocaust." Note that I called the salvage rider the ENVIRONMENTAL EQUIVALENT to the anti-Jewish laws. I wonder if you grasped the distinction? Even if you did, it's certainly your opinion, whatever your religious and cultural heritage, to consider my statement "unnecessary and unappropriate" (sic). I believe there is a close analogy, otherwise I would not have said it. All due respect to you sir, but I feel I owe noone an apology. David Orr dgorr@ucdavis.edu
