I'm all about free speech. Pattison is obviously looking at a damage control issue here, unfortunately. I'm not a huge Greenpeace fan, but I do hope they find another outlet who will take the message and post it up.
I'll admit... my problem here is the messenger rather than the message. Unfortunately, as noted, this is really about the messenger promoting itself rather than promoting change. I'd bet they submitted it hoping and expecting it would be rejected, simply so they can play the "woe is Greenpeace" card. The slogan is just a tool designed to help their efforts at self-promotion.
