   An obituary by The Economist for Steve Sawyer, leader of Greenpeace, who died on July 31st. He was there the day the French bombed and sunk the Rainbow Warrior, causing an global outcry and a rise in activism "against oil-drilling, mining, seal-hunting, whaling and dumping of toxic waste, as well as nuclear testing".

      I didn't know the french government strapped bombs to the side of a greenpeace boat and sunk it, killing people in the process. I guess I shouldnt be surprised these days.

      Thanks for sharing, this was a good read
