    WTF???

    I dislike [censored] who blow up things, but saying enviros are the "top
    domestic terrorism threat" seems insane. What about the right-wing
    fundamentalist terrorists like Timothy McVeigh, Eric Rudolph, etc?

    Of course, Faux News would rather focus on leftist terrorist than right-wing
    "Christian" terrorists, so this comes as no surprise.

    Maybe you should contct the FBI then. Tell them they are wrong and you
    know more than they do. Let them know about your extensive
    investigations and how they are way off base because you said so.

    I would not consider Mikey, his views or his methods, as
    representative of more than a handful of environmentalists, just as I
    do not consider him as representative of hikers (his "hikes" as
    mentioned are only on local parks, and his advice on footwear shows
    how unfamiliar he is with serious hiking in most of the world).

    Similarly, I do not consider him representative of PhD's,
    psychologists, the Sierra Club, or rational people.

    He likes to pretend that vast groups of people support him and agree
    with him, but none of them actually exist.

    Also, he never does anything active other than harangue people.

    His only function in the world is to amuse others.

    Happy trails,

    Fair enough, but Mikey does not really care about the environment, so
    he does not care about the reputation of environmentalists.

    Of course, he does not care about his own reputation in the real world
    either.

    I understand what you are saying, but I am not sure either that we

    for this snake to target a given group seems to be presence. and

    Well, in that case, you would be wrong. I think law enforcement definitely
    *should* pursue and prosecute environmental terrorists and vandals.

    However, comparing environmental terrorists to Christian fundamentalist
    terrorists...the "Christians" have a much higher body count, and have
    probably done about as much economic damage as well (Oklahoma City, Waco,
    Atlanta Olympics, etc.). Thus, my objection to the FBI's labelling of them
    as the #1 domestic threat.

    It smells like politics to me, given the way the Bush administration panders
    to the fundies and big business.

    However, comparing environmental terrorists to Christian fundamentalist
    terrorists...the "Christians" have a much higher body count, and have
    probably done about as much economic damage as well (Oklahoma City, Waco,
    Atlanta Olympics, etc.). Thus, my objection to the FBI's labelling of them
    as the #1 domestic threat.

    The article seemed to be claiming the enviros were the #1 threat in terms
    of property damage, I believe it admitted they haven't been into violence
    against persons.

    Try researching the actions of ALF, ELF and the like. While some of
    their criminal mischief didn't result in harm to humans, some of it was
    intended to.

    AFAIK, ALF/ELF actions have never resulted in a human death or injury. Of
    course, arson is a very serious crime that always carries that possibility
    (especially so for fire fighters). They definitely should be investigated
    and prosecuted for what are serious crimes.

    But, the body count still goes to the Christian terrorists...by far.
