Subtle little degrading innuendoes. Hmmm, this is pretty gentle
treatment, Leroy, compared to what butterfly breeders and releasers have
to endure:
"Mr. Glassberg supports restrictions on butterfly releases,
which he calls "environmental pornography"."
"The people who release butterflies (into the
wild) are well-meaning but ignorant,"
"They are only getting pleasure out of it because
they are ignorant."
"It's really such a disgusting development," said Dr. Jeffrey
Glassberg, "Environmentally, it's the worst thing you
could do at your wedding."
