The amount of lobbying and influence peddling done by the conservation lobby PALES in comparison to the hordes of special interest business and industry lobbyists infesting the state house. While the Barnwell bill was circulating, ( a bill to keep SC as the nation's only commercial nuclear dump) the company that bought the white elephant hired 12 - that's it - 12 lobbyists to run around and influence voting by the agriculture committee members. Me thinks you protest too much. what is your real problem here? Timberlake is small potatoes compared to the gross inequities and probably illegalities of other lobbying groups, many who seek to allow more pollution, contamination, and destruction of our natural resources so we can continue to become the New Jersey of the South. Where's the beef, here, dude? this is all much ado about nothing.

But then she is not the only "greenie" who crosses the line. I think the environmental movement has concluded that the ends justify the means, and apparently the regulators agree.
