I don't really like the "greens" type of person as they tend to blame every thing on me and my desire to be like an average person with average consumption of our worldly resources but why exactly should they be targeted for special treatment over other travellers who may be more astute in voicing their beliefs? The decision to permit travel should be a matter of policy and not determined by individuals based on their personal beliefs or attitudes. I have experienced this type of treatment in third-world countries where the person making the determination could be influenced by monetary issues. I have always visited places where the degree of hassle was determined by spiritual specifics, ie - religion. Ring a bell here? Green bad, Republican good, Christian good, Muslim bad?, or the other way round!! It would be very sad if America was to become this shallow! Virtually Raymond D.
