It depends on the definition of "politics"

John Rodgers of The Nashville City Paper is reporting that Environmental Activist and local attorney Joe Prochaska asserts his lawsuit against "the Corker Defendants" (Prochaska's words) is not political. OK, I'll take his word on it, but only inasmuch as it relates to this particular senate race at this particular moment.

The fact is that for the Left's "environmentalist" faction, Wal-mart is target A-number-one (pun intended) followed closely behind by the subspecies of "developer." And the clash between two worldviews is perpetual: Preservationists think that development is usually bad, that nothing should change to accommodate man (because man is simply a higher order of "macaca"), and that land development is driven by either greed or speciesism. Non-Preservationists disagree.

You can see why the clash is perpetual.
