Notice how both of our favorite radically fundamental environmentalists disappeared from this group
during a recent outbreak of domestic terrorism attributed to ELF (Earth Liberation Front) in CA,
then show back up here after things have calmed down?

One has to wonder if they can account for their whereabouts on the dates and times when these
domestic terroristic acts were perpetrated...

Yes, I have been saying that for a long time. Never any denial on their part.

The funny thing is that by producing the acts of eco-terrorism to "protect" the environment, they
are merely causing more damage than if htey simply stayed at home. The condominium complex that was
burned in San Diego is still going to be built so all that really happened is that the eco-nuts
simply damaged good lumber. So now, more trees and other natural resources will have to be wasted
simply to rebuild what was destroyed.

Add to that, the fact that all of htese eco-nuts actually are protesting new homes being built yet
they left their own home under the cover of night to go torch other homes. Sort of like a big old
billboard advertising Hypocrisy!

Quite often, there is tacit, if not fully active, support.

Never a true denial.

Exactly... just like the ELF'ers who spray painted graffiti on SUV's. They dislike the SUV's, but
think nothing of using spray paint cans to perpetrate their crimes. Even if the paint is CFC-free
(some still aren't), nearly every spray paint contains chemicals such a Toulene, Xylene, and
Acetone. In addition, cans contain the warning of "This product contains chemicals known to the
state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm."

Their hypocrisy is much like the anti-abortion whack jobs who condone the killing of doctors who
perform them. On one hand they claim to be for the environment, then use chemicals harmful to
wildlife to get their message across.

Also notice how Mike and Terri always avoid subjects such as this, while foaming at the mouth about
the danger mountain biking poses to the environment?

ignore the environmentalist whack jobs until said group sets the crosshairs on their local trails.

Being proactive in keeping trails open, and exposing the Mike V's and Terri A's as the frauds they
truly are, is much easier than trying to get the disastrous results of their work reversed.

Of course, trying to keep the MTB'ers from fighting amongst themselves is often tough enough. In my
local area, a trail advocacy and maintenance group (with membership open to any person who wishes to
join) has to keep wasting time and money in replacing trail markers because other MTB'ers are
constantly vandalizing or removing them. The group of yet-to-be-caught idiots responsible for the
destruction doesn't realize that if it wasn't for the advocacy/maintenance group, which is the only
special interest user group officially recognized by the county (who owns the park), the facility
would have been closed to bikers years ago.

The key to it happening was through a proactive approach, and beating the hikers to the punch in
making the voices of MTB'ers heard.

As a result, we have a stable, mapped facility open to mountain biking, legal and properly
maintained multi-use trails that aren't "dumbed down," and a certified NMBP crew who patrols the
park to keep an eye out for users in need of assistance.

It's hard to believe anyone would view that as bad... but when someone shows

the sand than neutralize the environmentalist nut cases, I guess we shouldn't be surprised...

How many trails has the "environmental whack job" personally been responsible for closing in all his
years of "fighting"? Zilch. The most he can come up with is that he spoke up at a town meeting.

"Know your enemy", as they say. In this case, our "enemy" is the environmental Homer Simpson. There
are pseudo-environmental activists that are a reason to worry; he's just not one of them. Any time
spent with him is time wasted.

Total bollocks - my head ain't in the sand but yours is certainly up your ****. MV has done more to
discredit his own cause than anything, and that's all he's good for.

I am working on creating wildlife habitat that is off-limits to humans ("pure habitat"). Want to
help? (I spent the previous 8 years fighting auto dependence and road construction.)
